"And halfing the defense budget will solve every problem America has with its deficit."

I guess math is not your strong suit huh?
The chart you posted yourself says we spend $515 Billion on Defense. Halving it would save roughly $260 Billion.
Our deficit this year is $1.42 TRILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!
If we halved our defense budget we'd still be in the hole for more than $1 Trillion dollars....

Read this (from the AP no less):
"WASHINGTON — What is $1.42 trillion? It's more than the total national debt for the first 200 years of the Republic, more than the entire economy of India, almost as much as Canada's, and more than $4,700 for every man, woman and child in the United States.

It's the federal budget deficit for 2009, more than three times the most red ink ever amassed in a single year."
