We don’t have a spending problem, we have a military
spending problem
I'm good with zero-ing out the entire budget for the Department of Homeland Security and giving every former employee 52-weeks unemployment benefits. That is the kind of downsizing of government we desperately need to do now. We simply can not afford to pay these people for the next 60 years, so we need to cut these "make work" jobs.

Just have every know that they are assuming risk of hijacking by terrorists.

And back in the golden era of Clinton we didn't have a this worthless Department, so we would just be returning government to the size of it back then.
