However, I'm sure House Republicans will be more than willing to cut back of food stamps or primary education in order to save this critical program. After all, we have to maintain our priorities...

Army Carbine Program May Waste $1.8 Billion, Report Finds
By Tony Capaccio & Danielle Ivory - Mar 19, 2013 9:15 AM ET ..

The Army risks wasting as much as $1.8 billion developing a replacement for the M4 carbine that it may not need, according to the Pentagon’s inspector general.

The carbine replacement program is one the Army and Pentagon “may want to re-evaluate,” as the service is “seeking to acquire more rifles during a time when their total force structure will be reduced,” Lynne Halbrooks, principal deputy inspector general, said in a statement to be delivered today to a House committee.
