someone with little / no influence will be fired. budgets like this get bloated and abused by entrenched political interests. the second question has nothing to do with anything really. what's so magical about a military budget that isn't exactly identical to any other government agency budget? do people actually imagine if we cut defense spending the government magically hands back "unspent" money? of course not, they'll piss it away in other departments.
