Cutting the welfare state...

I agree. Military spending is our greatest source of financial and political over reach. SS is not a problem and won't be for quite a while and even then it's an easy fix. Lift the payroll tax cap. Medicare costs will be rolled over into health care reform so that to is manageable, assuming a political will to manage the problem. So military spending is where a lot of the pain will start but cutting military spending during a recesion may not be a good idea. Having said that what we spend it rediculous. We could cut spending in half and still outspend the rest of the world combined.
or would you prefer that everyone just sign their income over to uncle sam and let him manage our entire financial lives, providing us with an apartment, a job, and a bicycle?
