Rand was right that we need to be Conservative with military spending too. It is a gummit agency that needs to be trimmed of waste.
I wish we could expand military spending by 50%. But unfortunately with soon to be $20,000,000,000,000 in debt, we are essentially a bankrupt country. All superpowers of past went down the tubes by over spending on military with bankrupt treasuries. Thos who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
Military spending under Reagan was around 5.5% of GDP. Today military spending as a percentage of GDP is down to about 3.0%.
I think Rand is wrong about military spending being too high, especially when one considers that defending the country is the number one Constitutional job of the Federal Government.
And if I remember correctly Rand said that their was AGW.
