CAVUTO: All right, so, if -- that being the case, why are members of Congress ignoring these numbers from the Congressional Budget Office? They are right out there, put out by the CBO for anyone and everyone to read.

It really doesn't end there, though. You slash the growth in funding for the Department of Defense just by one percent and you save another $862 billion.
