Big savings are also in the Pentagon (mistakenly generalized as “defense spending). If we closed down those bases in 120 countries, we could make a tremendous savings. Unfortuately, Rand Paul has proposed the only plan which makes any cuts in the Pentagon.

I always get a bit worried about pulling ourselves in and no longer being a world power. I realize the temptation, and it’s likely to happen anyway, but often the consequences are as nice as we may want (like World War 2 in the last century, or Japan developing nukes in this century).
I guess I just think differently than the Paul’s.
