Like the title sez, the US spends way too much on the MIC.

Looking at this pic, I advocate cutting the MIC spending by 2/3's. That's about 400 million that can be put to way better use.

Also, it appears there's no more room in the inn. The US also has way too many people. Either we control our population or reality will, via peak oil and global warming.
