[Vision2020] ] Thumbs Up for North Carolina and Michigan State

[Wayne Price]

NOTICE: This opinion has not been pre-vetted for approval by Tom Hansen

A GREAT reason why the Defense Department budget should be SLASHED not  
cut!
We cannot afford to waste government funds to stage basketball games  
on aircraft carriers!

Then when you add some other startling figures to waste in the DoD,  
that have NOTHING to do with national defense, such as the money paid
to the various coaches at the military academies, it's time to SLASH  
and use the remaining funding on defense!


The GAO issued a report in September 2003 (publication GAO-03-1000) on  
Military Education and gave the following cost per graduate for the  
Fiscal year 2002:

USMA: $349,327
USNA: $275,001
USAFA: $322,750

Ask yourself, has this cost gone DOWN in the past 9 years?
