“You may disagree, but then it would be very minority opinion.”
A vibrant private sector composed of free citizens paying taxes to a government that performs limited Constitutionally mandated duties is our model.
I don’t disagree with that at all.
However, it is a rather loftier topic than whether the government should short-change the military retirees’ pension COLAs.
We could just as well argue whether or not we should have a military presence in other countries, an aggressive foreign policy, whether or not we are nation building overseas and whether that’s a good idea and a thousand other points...
I have opinions on all of them (mostly, don’t do it)...
But THAT would be a complete side-track of the original poster’s article.
