$806 billion / 75% = $200 billion
Thats $20million a life.
Is it worth it?

I agree with pretty much all that. I'm saying it could be scaled back immensely and still serve the purpose we need it to.
As for the cut spending by 75% but have 35k casualty question, I would not support that. BUT I wouldn't support cutting spending that much anyway. In my mind a 25% cut would be a severe.
