<<<I could do that in the bureaucracy. But the bureaucracy is a rather minor budget element. Twenty percent of not much is even less much.>>>

The Federal government is all bureaucracy. They don't make anything. There is no cost of goods. There is no R&D. There is no marketing and sales. There is no profit. DoD may be a little different, but anyone who has been in the military will know there is waste in purchasng, inventory, R&D, and bureaucracy.

If you can get rid of 20% of bureaucracy, that s a big, big number.
