The US should pull it’s forces out of Europe, Japan, Asia and stop giving free stuff to places like Egypt. They took advantage of the US Defense umbrella to build their socialism. Let them defend themselves and bear the burden of cost. The US shouldn’t be funding or fighting endless wars anyway. Big deal, so we reduce the rate of increase in spending, not a true cut. They act as if this is the end of the world or something.
I think a few hundred thousand bureaucrats and a few Departments (EPA, Education, ATF, etc.) can go before we jump on the loony world-destabilization bandwagon. I’d dump Medicare and SS entirely before sending such a GO signal to China.
I do agree with you on Egypt, but not for cost-savings. They are essentially the Muslim Brotherhood, and only our pResident wants to support that.
