Cutting national defence spending. That's a red flag from me and should be for every American. Your wealth and position is secured and largely based on the strenght of your army.

Then you really don't understand the US Government.  The US could cut military spending by half, and would still be spending more than the next 4 countries combined.  Plus we could give everyone free health care, free college, and still have billions left over.

 

You're being very intelectually dishonest here. Yes, US spends more than other countries when you count the amount of money, but when it comes to the percentage of the actual GDP being spent on the defense, USA is nowhere near the first place. This amount only seems big because US's  GDP is so much bigger compared to other countries

Furthermore, even if the US cuts the military spending COMPLETLEY, as in, they dont spend a single dolar on it, they still wont be abel to pay for Communist Bernie's bullshit ''free'' (spoiler:even then it wont really be free) college
