    “If you want peace, prepare for war. Si vis pacem, para bellum.” - Vegetius

    Big bureaucracies do tend to have waste, but spending less reduces both useful spending and wasteful spending equally. Cutting a budget does not achieve virtue. US military spending keeps the world at peace

      spending less reduces both useful spending and wasteful spending equally.

      I also would like a source or 2 supporting “equally” wasteful, although that’s a good point that both types of spending are likely to be reduced.
