Deficit Commission Submits Their Recomendations

[Jaysyn]

The left is very naive to believe that we can afford to compromise our national security.

And the right is very naive to think that spending twice as much for defense as the rest of the planet is sustainable. More magical thinking.

The magical thinking is the left believing its own narrow make believe world view where the United States should set the example to the rest of the world, and disarm. It would be suicide for our nation to compromise national security.

I am so glad that I don't have to go thru life completely terrified of everything that is different than I, like you & your ilk so obviously do. What are you so scared of? We could cut defense spending in half & still have the largest, most powerful military on the planet.

Why so scared?

It's also a matter of raw numbers. You want to cut spending to reduce the debt? It ain't gonna happen if you take defense off the table. The numbers just aren't there. There isn't 700 billion that you can cut out of the budget any other way.

Perhaps you'd prefer tax hikes? "Guns or butter" as the saying goes, a theist, you can't have both.

Oh, but he can in magical fairy-tale world where gods are real & will balance the budget for you if you just pray hard enough.
