I hae a better idea: Let’s have a government that will cut entitlements. The government is supposed to maintain an army and navy. Given the state of the world (especially after 9/11), military spending is ital to our surival as a nation.
The problem with the budget is not the military, it’s Socialist Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and federal pensions. The redistribution of wealth is the problem, not legitimate government spending.
I agree we should defend our borders. Let’s just have as many bases overseas as other countries. Let’s just not spend many many times as much for our military as anyone else does.
I understand that many freepers do make a living making bombs and planes and they don’t want to lose their jobs. But we need to make serious cuts in government spending even if it hurts our defense industries.
We’re just spending too much money. We have to figure out places to make cuts. And if the defense industries hurt because if it, well, that’s just the breaks. We can’t afford to buy all the planes and bombs they want to sell anymore.
