The best means of cutting through the noise is to ask a simple

Which federal expenditures that You support would you like to see cut

NB: It is Not appropriate to recommend cuts in expenditures that
Someone Else supports that you do not. Turnabout and all - they can't
cut Your preferred expenditures either when they make suggestions for
spending cuts.

So, have at it.

Defense department, i.e. military industrial complex. The US presently
spends 40% of the world's military expenditures.

Nope - that's playing fast and loose. You already don't support DoD
spending at its current level.

Re-read the question: What federal expenditures that You Support
would you like to cut or eliminate?

I't's a tad Too facile to suggest cutting or eliminating things that
Other Folks support.

Try it again.
