There are (basically) 3 responsibilities of a federal government that only they can do; foreign relations, international trade, and national defence. (Practically) everything else can be handled by individuals or lower levels of government, typically more efficiently while offering choice for people. If, in the middle of two wars, your military represents (less than) 20% of your budget this should be a sign that there is a MASSIVE PROBLEM with the other 80% of your budget ... if your Military is approaching 10% of your budget and you're running a deficit at (roughly) 50% of your budget you should (probably) look at cutting all other expenses in half. |
Agree! That's our problem in this country. Our federal government is involved in way too many things it's not supposed to be.
