This is the thing government should be spending money on, the defense of the country. But defense spending is dwarfed by the social programs this post Constitutional America has turned into.
The waste of taxpayer money is the welfare we are handing out to too many. How much does the food stamp program have to expand before you guys call out der leader?
Answer, it can never get big enough for you big government lovers.
The only thing you would ever want to cut would be the military, other than that, libs never want to cut a thing. gimmee gimmeee gimmeee
War mongering idiot.
Go crawl back into your faux outrage and quit picking up the tab.
If we didn't spend so much on creating endless wars all over the planet then perhaps the blowback of 9-11 never reaches our shores. Now due to everyone not paying attention we have swiss cheese for a border. Welfare, education, healthcare would all be paid for with the money we've spent in just the last 10 years on wars!
Instead of closing up the shop and letting those idiots kill themselves you want to jump in the middle and continue to meddle. We're not responsible for keeping the peace.
Yes...cut the military. We're not using them correctly anyways. Want to impress me? Use a tactical nuke in Afghanistan after we pack up. Maybe we have a stockpile of duds. Maybe they're past the freshness point. Let's light that candle and REALLY send them a message. Let's take out the poppy fields for good. That's why we're there anyways.
