come on, defense is the one thing that everyone can agree the government should be doing.


Defense against what, exactly? I never understood that, when was the US invaded by an enemy or even threatened by any army? The only thing I see is a massive military that goes preemptively into other countries, bombs them to smitherines and leaves them in ruins with no infrastructure, governing organs, funds or future, only contempt and poverty. Oh, and asks that NATO helps pick up the bill and try to stabilize the region afterwards.

War is bleeding the US dry, war is costly, read up on some English and French history and see how utterly depleted even the richest nations can become by waging war on everyone and everything.
