We Can't Afford To Be Everywhere Forever

[EdwardBaiamonte]

unbelievable ignorance and stupidity. Its like saying OBL posed no threat to the USA. We've already bombed the IS branch that was working on specific attacks on the USA. Chemical and bio weapons could wipe out entire cities easily.

See why we are positive that liberalism is based in pure ignorance?

We await your evidence with bated breath.

dear evidence of what exactly????

Your claims.

dear are you afraid to say what claims exactly? What does your fear teach us?

You don't know what claims you made in your post? Not all that surprised, actually.

dear, you said ISIS posed no threat. I said anthrax. You have trying to change the subject ever since. Show some character!

Well, no, we can not eliminate welfare. What will all those millions of slackers who live at the expense of welfare do? They probably will start looking for work, and we have no work. So they will start to rob

Neocons like Rick Perry and John McCain want our troops to be everywhere forever. We can't afford the obligations we currently have overseas, much less protracted battles in all four corners of the globe.

We have problems to address here at home, like the debt, infrastructure, the borders, and Social Security solvency. We would be wise to focus our money at home for a while so we can get caught up on things here

You forgot to include Democratic neocons like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in that analysis, but otherwise spot on. Though I would also point out we can't afford things like Social Security either.

They should eliminate welfare and apply it to SS.

Then you shoot em....problem solved.

SS is welfare.

So you dont pay social security taxes?

Sure, you paid into an alleged Social Security fund, that was then used by the government for all manner of other nonsense and completely depleted, if it ever existed, and is now dependent upon government borrowing. This is not to mention the number of people taking more money out of Social Security than they ever paid into it.

Fund nonexistent + more taken out than put in = welfare

I think we should dump SS, Medicare, and Medicaid, and all welfare. I want to see what this country will look like with 50% unemployment.

How does eliminating those programs increase unemployment?

Good thing about not being everywhere is it makes good cover for America no longer being anywhere in world opinion.

It also means that the U.S. and its allies would just have to turn around and do it all over again sooner or later, at a much larger cost in lives and money, since the rest of the world isn't going to change just because the U.S. closes its overseas bases and quits patrolling the seas or pursuing an active foreign policy. The U.S. has had a moderating effect on international relations under its hegemony, something that disappears immediately if it were to listen to insane, simplistic libertoon fantasies.

Yes, very moderating, especially in the Middle East. How many innocent civilians killed by U.S. backed dictatorships, sanctions, troops, and bombs? Seems like many people in that region were moderated right into hating and actively working to harm the U.S. as a result of the U.S. government's moderating presence.

its really very very simple. America is the world's policeman and it should be. As the last best hope for freedom on earth America must do its duty to contain and destroy liberalism wherever is found. Now it is found most dangerously in Russia and ISIS.

Worrying about how much things cost and cutting back spending is a vote grabbing ploy. The National Debt can never be paid off, has no upper limit, and money isn't backed by anything of real value. Eventually we're gonna default, the global economy will crash and only then will anything change for the better. After a bit of apocalyptic chaos and mayhem.

Couldn't pay off a trillion dollar debt let alone 17 trillion. We are so off the charts screwed anyone saying we need to reign in spending is either fully delusional and clinically mentally ill, or just trying to deceive ignorant people into voting for them.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

. Eventually we're gonna default,

dear, predicting the future always makes an ass of yourself.

dear, this is what Republicans and libertarians say. Can you say why you object? Do you know why you object?

Yes, you want to cut spending, but you also want the U.S. to be everywhere in the world. Empires get a teensy-bit expensive.

dear, Republicans do not want to cut defense spending. What could be dumber than an inadequate defense in such a dangerous world?

A true conservative is never in favor of spending more than we take in. That is fiscal lunacy.

And defense spending could be cut drastically and we would still have an adequate defense.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

And thus we see your calls for cutting spending are nonsense.

dear, intelligent people are obviously not calling for cuts in defense spending. Do you understand now?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

we would still have an adequate defense.

and if it was a little less than adequate ( something not knowable in advance of course) civilization on earth would be extinguished!

Do you understand now?

dear, intelligent people are obviously not calling for cuts in defense spending. Do you understand now?

Yes, you're not actually interested in cutting spending. I knew that all along.

dear nobody is interested in cutting spending if it might end civilization on earth. Is that really over your head?
