I agree.
I'm former military and I love having a strong, powerful military, but the amount of money we spend on it.... Is staggering. The purpose of our military should be to protect our borders, not to impose our will on every one else. At the same time, keep in mind that if we cut funding to our military.... A lot of people lose jobs. Not only the people in the military, but all of the civilian jobs centered around the military....
Foreign aid? We've spent a lot of money there and what has it gotten us? Nothing.
