In Germany their government spends nearly 50% of the nations GDP and its just starting to break. I think we will be able to handle atleast that much before bankrupting ourselves. and I dont see us handling that anytime soon. Especially not with conservatives in control. Now if we could only get rid of some entitlements.
Second, if we are playing so stupid right now, how would you do it?
I've answered that before - I'd have used neutron bombs to kill Saddam and most of the Baath party during one of their congresses, along with heavy conventional (and maybe a few more neutron bombs) to eliminate the Rep. Gaurd. Then I'd have let the Iraqi people take over the country, decide their own fates, and offered them assistance but not forced it down their throats.
