Balanced approach to the debt

[The T]

Yep,

Reduce defense to 400 billion---Bring troops home throughout the world and dock half of our navy.
Cut unemployment to 50 weeks
Cut welfare back to 2009 levels
Stop bailing out wall street

Leave infrastructure, science and r&d investment at the current low level here at home. Lowest level since the 90's.

WHY does Government have to fund it? Have something against the private sector/INVENTION/Entrepeneurship on an INDIVIDUAL level doing it without Government help?

THINK MATT...if you dare.

I guess Matt thinks that Henry Ford, Alexander Bell, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs came up with their inventions using government funding.

Maybe he thinks they lived in Gubmint subsidized housing like himself, and therefore the inventions they made in their garages belongs to the Gubmint?

We should start by reducing our defense spending to a percentage of GDP equal to the average percent of GDP of all the nations we're currently defending for free.

Great idea, that should let Russia conquer everyone by the end of the year.

To WHOM do we owe these trillions?

Where did THEY get these TRILLIONS?

THINK, people, think!

I would answer, but you wouldn't understand.

How would you fund all those global warming studies if we cut the defense budget that much?

WHAT does this even mean? Can YOU equate this also to percentage of GDP WE spend on moochers living off of others? SHOULDN'T they take a hit as well since their asses are on the line too?

DUMBFUCK.

Let's just et EVIL run rampant, right Carbonated? NOW I do note that YOU never mentioned that the countries we have bases in should bare some responsibility as well...NOW, I wonder WHY this is? Hmm?

What a fucking CLOWN you are.

If Western Europe and the various Asian countries we protect don't want to pay their share of their own defense,

what is our vital interest in paying for it?

how about cutting every item in the federal budget by 25%? everything, across the board, no exceptions.

2nd, if we cut the DOD budget to the level you suggest, we will put hundreds of thousands of people on the unemployment rolls. where do we get the money for that? Is it better to have them working building planes, ships, and tanks or sitting at home waiting for an unemployment check?

Our defense budget is a government make-work project?

You do know that everyone includes you, don't you?
