What are we going in debt to pay for again?
First of all your numbers are off. Care to post a link? We do not spend almost 5 times the military budget on "welfare entitlements". Defense/homeland security/veterans benefits accounts for about 20% of our federal budget. Medicaid/medicare/social security account for a little over 50%
Second of all every penny we spend on another country is wasted when we could be spending it on our own country. I'd much rather give money to US citizens that throw money down a hole in a foreign country.
Thirs. lets talk ab out all the fine young US men and woment who are dying or getting crippled for some for the benfit of a foreign country instead of the US.
