Uh genius, you might want to take another look at that chart. THERE IS NO MONEY AVAILABLE! It is financially impossible to increase the defense budget AND keep paying out the entitlement programs over the next few years.

That trend will not continue. It is not sustainable.

You can live in your isolationist fantasy land if you wish. But, we will have a strong defense and we will not withdraw.
Liberaltarian Utopia is no better than Leftist Utopia.
