Yeah by putting it on our Chinese credit card. That's a real bright national security strategy - rolls eyes. Bottom line: raise taxes to pay for said benefits, reduce benefits or a combo of both. That's the only way the entitlement crisis will be solved. Period. And to claim that the Defense budget will be sacrosanct during that process is delusional.
Nobody is buying your “Cut the military” spew.
Except the Loony Left, OWS crowd and assorted PaulNuts.
Enjoy your company.
