It is time to cut out the mountains of waste and inefficiency and duplication in the federal government.

I think there is a lot of fat in the government.
The Pentagon budget, like all government spending, is an expression of priorities.

Imagine if Congress always put the interests of polluters ahead of the health of our families. Our rivers and lakes would be choked with sewage. Acid rain would pour down from smog-filled skies. Hundreds of thousands more of our neighbors, friends, and loved ones would be victims of cancer, heart disease, and asthma.
