That’s the strategy: Spend so much that even a moron can tell the budget needs to be cut. Then we can’t afford two wars or other things libs hate. Pretty ingenious in a way.
Wars are not something that we fight because we like to have wars. Wars are to protect ourselves. Prepare yourself for the inevitable. Terror strikes on US assets overseas, and sooner or later on the homeland itself, with weak-to-no response from the pussifist gobberment. Kind of like India and the terrorist attacks on Bombay.
