I don't think 25% is realistic by cutting waste only.

LOL, I know this wasn't your point, but from the article:

Congressman Barney Frank’s Sustainable Defense Task Force demonstrates the difficult choices required to truly reduce defense spending. Frank commissioned a review panel to suggest a number of significant cuts to American military capabilities. In June, the group recommended significant cuts to American military capabilities. The task force’s proposals, in total, could reduce defense spending by $960 billion over the next ten years.

Barney Frank on cutting defense spending, the same guy that said the following about Fannie & Freddie:

"These two entities—Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—are not facing any kind of financial crisis," said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, on the Financial Services Committee. "The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."

Oh yeah, since Frank's statement Fannie and Freddie cost taxpayers roughly $150 billion in the two years since they were nationalized.

Frank is a far left-wing buffoon!
