We spend a fortune on NATO. Trump’s right - at $19T in debt, we need to keep our money here where it does US some good.

Here’s a link to Cruz trashing Trump for the Brussel’s attack. By CNN. Happy now?
Ironic, Cruz is trashing the ONLY candidate willing to protest us from these terrorists. Cruz is becoming more ridiculous every day. I’m embarrassed I supported him in the very beginning.
Don’t know if you around when NATO was formed, but its more or less a buffer zone used to keep anything less than global conflagration away from our shores and let Europe soak up the punches. We probably pay the lion’s share, but we also are for the most part the controlling authority.
Do you know the US budget for NATO? I do not and unless its way up there its still a bargain.
We would do better and save more by cutting foreign aid to countries that are not our friends or do not enable us to increase our security.
