Are we all prepared for the size of our military under a balanced budget?

Yep. When 0 was elected it triggered a constitutional crisis the will culminate in civil war or the destruction of America. Either way, our kids won’t inherit the country we enjoyed: and this is what they’re fighting for?

It’s how you spend it, not how much money you have - federal agencies are awash in money. They need to spend it on what is needed. Prioritize! There is astronomical waste and fraud in government, and money is being pushed into liberal, pet causes within every agency. Time to cut funding (usual means no INCREASES in budgets), expose fraud and prioritize where funds are spent.

Of course this goes hand in hand with tax cuts, wherein more money will flow to government coffers. Then the deficit will shrink and the Left’s steady push toward more and more dependency (wealth transfer) - to grow socialism and shrink free markets and private property - will be pushed back.

Sure. We would probably be able to get rid of boondoggle programs that cost too much, make no sense and will barely work.

I want to see what we do with the other 82% that gets wasted from social programs.

If that's the meme, then we might as well pack it in and watch as we go down the tubes.

You mean a military to protect our borders and (immediate) national interests, instead of nation building, winning ‘hearts and minds’ and being the world’s police force (exactly what is the U.N. doing that we’re paying big $$)?

Boy, *I* sure am.
