Sounds like you want to cut spending on Americans with no problem with spending for the world. Nah.

Our priorities are different. You want to continue spending 5 out of every 6 dollars in the federal budget on able-bodied leeches. I'd like to see the budget revert to a more traditional stance - where most of that 1 dollar on defense is maintained, and the remaining 5 dollars is shrunk drastically.

Besides, you're changing the subject - 5 out of every 6 federal budget dollars are spent on civilian expenditures, mainly on welfare programs, but in your mind, it's defense that's causing the budget deficits. If we zeroed out the defense budget, the annual deficit would have been $200b.
