Guns versus butter and butter wins every time. The demise militarily of Great Britain and the welfare states of Europe demonstrate how great powers decline when confronted with the costs of the welfare state. It is inevitable that it will happen here as well. We can no longer afford both guns and butter. The US is in decline as a global power.

They used to teach that in political science and economics classes: guns or butter. It was one of the few simulations that encouraged interesting debate.

But we tried guns AND butter (using debt to pay for the rest). So did Europe.

Eliminate the butter, you either pay your own way in this world or lie down in the street and die!
