I would, however, eliminate the deduction for a second home. What non-defense spending would you cut? why stick with non-defense? 42% of the budget,approximately, goes to military either past spending (i.e. Reagan's deficit) or current spending The military LOST, as in misplaced, one TRILLION dollars last year.
