Are you saying we didn't have enough armaments and equipment for Iraq and Afghanistan? My understanding is that American companies did supply the war effort.
How about we actually try cutting spending first? We've tried tax increases and tax cuts - but real spending reductions haven't been tried in ages.
I have never been against spending reductions. My plan is to raise the retirement age to receive SS and Medicare benefits by 5 years, and remove our bases from Europe and other locations, and let other countries police themselves..
Got any specific cuts you have in mind yourself? I'd be happy to hear them.
I agree for those under 50 or so, but don't raise it on those that are close.
Those people paid a significantly smaller percentage of their income than younger people will. Why would we not change it for people who are close?
