Ron Paul wants to build more bases in the U.S.

5. I will explain you the logic

and this is how I would go about it.

We need to bring DoD spending down, but releasing all these troops in THIS economy is just nuts. So you bring them home and you build a base let's say in Amarillo texas. Now this base is built an engineering battalion, within a military reservation. This base is a SMALL base, since somebody looked, we need a hospital. They build a barracks building, and a hospital. Within a year of this facility coming on line, it is released in a base closure to the city as a TEACHING hospital. You got a hospital and a living facility for your medical students and your soldiers are still spending money.

We could do it with a civilian WPA... by the way as well.

As to what needs cutting in DoD... I can think of about ten programs from the top of my head that go to the cold war...
