Yes, it is important the the United States spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined. That way we can go broke, and be unable to even defend America. The secret to us winning the two world wars was............we allowed ourselves to rest instead of being on continuous alert. We are like Britain was in 1910, interventionist and spending more than they could possibly avoid. It is time to come home from everywhere, and concentrate on US.
We could afford that level of defense spending if we were not spending two-thirds of the federal budget on unconstitutional social services and interest on the debt.
