A $159 Million Saved is a $159 Million Earned

   Consider all the wasteful military spending in Afghanistan, the $34 million for a headquarters that will never be used, the $45 million for a repair shop no longer needed for repairs, and the $80 million for a consulate placed in a location too dangerous for consulate use.
   Consider this: They all came at a time our government was moving towards the Sequestor. They came at a time when Congress was scratching its head -- supposedly -- for ways to save money. Now, in a sea of trillions of dollars of debt, $159 million might not seem like much. Still, if you are looking for places to cut, cut the waste, first of all.
