Less spending in 2nd Term?

According to this article President Bush is going to freeze domestic spending next year. So the our national debt will still increase by billions (if not trillions) of dollars over the next few months. Why not cut spending instead? We do not need a lot of useless features of the government, like the FDA, ATF, DEA, FCC, etc. A good solution would be to have a sunset clause for all federal administrations. A nice dream, but unlikely at this point. At least one of the most enefficient of the agencies (NASA) is coming under attack left and right by private enterprise such as the Space Ship One.

Another question: why should we have non domestic spending at all? Foreign aid and "foreign intervention" are big parts of that. Iraq was a mistake, everyone but Bush will admit that by now, including several key republicans. The problem is that Iraq is not our worst foreign policy. That distinction is reserved for foreign aid. Is it right for us to take our people's money and give it to other countries, many of which American do not support? For example, we give foreign aid to Israel. Many Arab Americans are rightfully upset about this, since they do not wish to support that country. Likewise, do Jewish Americans enjoy it when their tax dollars go to fundamentalist muslim nations? Probably not. How about we cut all of the bullshit and just make all foreign aid privately funded. That way people can take their own decisions.
