| sethnintendo said: Perhaps if USA could keep its military and medical spending in check then we would actually have a balanced budget or surplus. All these other programs Republicans and Democrats bicker over are nothing compared to military, medical and social security. We need to balance the budget but not the Tea Party way... They just want to cut programs that barely add anything to the budget yet keep military spending flying hugh... If we could stay out of a war for a decade or two then maybe we could run a surplus. |
Military spending is not overly large as a proportion of GDP. It is also miniscule when compared to health and entitlement programs, and will become smaller and smaller relative to those programs over time.
You may argue that that is as it should be, but lets not pretend that the military is in anyway the source of the USA's budgetary woes.
