Are there places where money could be save easily? Sure. 
Are they they going to make a material impact when we talk about cutting budgets and taxes without sacrificing services? Nope.

Right. But if the current group would save the money in "places where money could be saved easily" then populist "cut the fat" types would get no traction. I think its easy to understand how people think they pay too much in taxes (whatever that absolute level) when they see monwy getting wasted.
