If we are going to spend tax money, better to spend it on Americans. If it’s going to be tax and spend then roads and education and healthcare for Citizens before sending one bullet or dollar anywhere outside of the borders.
Personally I think those things up to the states, except perhaps the Interstate.
Article 4 Section 4 of the US Constitution guarantees to the states “a republican form of government”, which makes a socialistic form of government something that must be prevented by the same Constitution and not among the rights reserved to the states or the people by the Tenth Amendment. I believe it is a false dilemma to regard our continuing in socialist behavior a foregone conclusion to be submitted to. It’s also a false dilemma between “tax and spend” versus “borrow and spend” when both are designed to grow government.
Of course, a reversal of what is being done to the military is always welcome, although that comes with the caveat of being wary of a standing military.
