A bit of devils advocate - the budget shortfall is in excess of $40 billion dollars. EVERY single program that can be cut can be defended with the, "It's only a drop in the bucket anyway!" argument. There is no single place to cut that amounts to any large portion of the problem. The only way to proceed is to cut lots of small bits.

I'm not saying there aren't other good arguments against this move, but that particular one doesn't hold water.
