Dude you're gonna have to do a LOT better than that. That's an infantile tantrum, a straw argument. No one, repeat NO ONE, let me say this one more time....NOT A SINGLE PERSON ON THIS THREAD OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE CONSERVATIVE UNIVERSE is not concerned about deficits and spending......and to focus on defense, the one legit government function, as a place to cut - is either liberal or childishly libertarian naivete.
Sorry, but there’s a lot of unnecessary military spending, that’s just a fact jack. And the dollars for it come from China (borrowing) or the Fed (printing press) - as with all the unnecessary domestic spending.
Start with Bush’s Iraq war — 1 trillion in borrowing and money-printing that was worse than unnecessary - it harmed our national security. We toppled the dictator who kept a lid on the crazies. And now we’re worried about the crazies running wild through Iraq? Hey, we’re the ones - or at least our Prez Bush - who took a baseball bat to that hornet’s nest.
Obama did the same thing by toppling Gaddafi in Libya. And McCain wants us to topple Assad in Syria.
In each case, you’re talking about spending hundreds of billions of dollars - on wars that hurt us. Just like a lot of liberal domestic spending actually hurts people instead of helping them’
