I don't argue the 15 cent tax on a $15 or $150 tree - but WHY it was proposed to be there in the first place - to support another government agency that has no need to exist.
As to the politics, since departing active duty and joining the ranks of defense contractors, I have had the "pleasure" of working on several tasks for non-DoD entities such as DHHS, Treasury, and TSA. Powers of ten worse than DoD, the political consideration inevitably trumps what is right, and I find that mode of operation utterly revolting.
And indeed, you have in the past, when someone railed about big government, used the "why don't you just do away with the military, police, firefighters, and teachers" flawed argument. I don't feel like searching the archives to find it but could if I were willing to do so.
