Right. I don't think we can.

Even the cutting tax breaks for companies that outsource is potentially goofy seeing as that many companies can elect to basically relocate entirely. You don't really want to create a disincentive to be based in the US.

And I think it's going to be a long time before we can expect to see savings from being out of Iraq, and I may be pessimistic, but I don't think the money related to military and security is really the place to count on saving.
