Also I am not paranoid the world is running out of resources fast and as global population levels grow so will poverty rates. I remember right after the Occupy Protests got big hearing a DoD staffer talking about how if Americans would turn that violent and protest that much and call for an American spring. It only reassured the fact that the biggest threat to national security is now home grown extremists. Say Ron Paul gets elected. He cannot save the US from its debt. The military while it is huge. Social services and tax incentives and such actually make up what was it 75% of America's annual spending. The military is expensive but cutting it even cutting it entirely would not save America. P.S I have friends in the US Forces one who just finished his service coming back with PTSD. See the reason America needs its military at home is the poverty rates. Even if employment levels rise the fact is America will never fully recover. Also if and when America defaults on its debt |
Joe, I hate to say it, but you have no freaking clue about Ron Paul.
He is the only candidate that wants to cut social welfare spending and balance the budget. The whole military issue is about 25% of his entire platform. If you bothered doing ANY research on him, you'd understand that his platform is about ending 5 major federal departments and balancing the budget by reducing the government in every area - not just the military.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
