Specifically, what is he flip-flopping on here?
We are borrowing money from countries like China to pay for our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and it would be interesting to know how many Americans believe we should continue borrowing money and saddling future generations with debt to pay for our current actions in Syria, or anywhere else a new military adventure is taken up.
We are already in two wars that we are not paying for. We are waging war across the Middle East on a credit card, one whose limit is rapidly approaching. “And to involve our troops in further conflicts that hold no vital U.S. interests is wrong.”
This is from his senate.gov page. It’s there in black and white. He somewhat makes sense about the borrowing, but he says point blank that to involve troops where there in no vital US interest is wrong.
