Read all about Fair Use here. It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.

unhappycamper summary of this article: I'd like to see them cut about $700 billion from the one trillion dollar military budget. Oh, and by the way, end the occupations. You can save at least another $200 billion dollars a year.
