One problem with all that(Not that I wouldn't like to see all our people home)is the unemployment numbers. Unemployment would fly through the roof when all those part time military people come home at one time. Maybe we could make them border agents.
We are not at war with Afghanistan, we are at war with Al Qaeda. They stay on the move. We need more homeland security, like at our southern border, not try to build puppet nations
Or you could just let the Bush tax cuts for the ultra-rich expire like they're suppsoed to, and tax rates will STILL be below what we paid under Reagan. There's half of the yearly total of the budget deficit right there. And I dare say fewer than 1% of the readers of this blog would be affected. Or are all of you making $250K or more?

That's a good start, for sure!

anonymous 11:09, it would still be billions of dollars cheaper to pay the unemployment than it would be to stay at war.
wait, wait. This coming from the "Obama is weak on defense" crowd?
While we're at it....stop the aid packages to the rest of the world....especially the ones that bad mouth us (OK that only leaves Leichtenstein...)!
Put the returning soldiers to work fixing our infrastructure.
you balance budgets & pay off debts
we said weak on DEFENSE....apparently not on OFFENSE.
with the money we'd save on wars, we would be able to create new jobs
How quickly you have forgotten that the oldest war, going on ten years now, started on our soil...
The war was brought to us so we really didn't have a choice. The problem is over taxing entitlements and out of control spending.

Congress should print its own money interest free.
What we have instead is an inflation of our currency PLUS interest on top!
End the Fed
