Not to mention DOD, which so far as I hear, is totally incapable
of protecting our interests abroad without resorting to nuclear
weaponry, but does seem to spend quite a bit of money in the
process...

As I interstand it, Reagan promised to eliminate the deficit in
his first term.  However, it is now more than double what it was
when he took office, with the biggest increase yet slated for next
year.  He promised to eliminate it altogether; instead he kept it
and added on as much again as he inherited.  Yup, good job, Ron.
Please, promise me something more.
