That is how it should be. None of any of this means anything if someone can come take it way.
I think we can keep the current spending for the next four years.
Enough time to seriously reduce government spending everywhere else and start to bring down our debt. We face a bigger threat from China in our debt to them then we do from all the military we will spend over the next 50 years.
If Medicare spent 6 times as much as was necessary per patient, right-wing deficit hawks would be screaming their heads off.
But when we spend the same outrageous amount on the military, there's not a peep.
Interesting.
Can't grasp the notion that defense spending is a legitimate expenditure of the U.S. Government and that there is no medicare spending if there is no United States?
