For crying out loud fellow Freepers, there is nothing wrong with thinking about this. The basic concept of whether we need to buy more reserves is fully sound given the new realities.
Nowhere in the article does it say that we sell off anything and nowhere does it say that money should be shifted to domestic spending, although if it were used to replenish the defense budget I’m sure plenty of us would be willing to think about it.
I for one would certainly be in favor of not buying any more reserves for now, if we are still doing it.
