Drunk driving sucks

As I have shown in my other posts entitlements take up such a large percent of the budget that taking them from the members of society who makes the worst choices is the best way to balance the budget.  The Bureau of Justice Statistics estimated that in 1996 local law enforcement agencies made 1,467,300 arrests nationwide for driving under the influence of alcohol.  There is no excuse for this which is why drunk drivers are the next group I am going after.  Now if taking away entitlements cuts that number from 1996 in half to 732,650 to bad it is still high but a 50% drop is nice.  On to the savings using the population of 307,006,550 the 732,650 is about 0.2% of the population.  With entitlement at 58% of the budget  that means about 0.13% of the budget is spent on drunk drivers.  With a budget for 2012 at $3.818 trillion that is nearly $5.3 billion dollars and all the lives saved by less drunk driving cant beat it.  Sorry I post randomly so please check everyday incase I get a chance to post.  Thank you for reading.
