[QUOTE="brett636, post: 346561, member: 249"] You must have a severe reading comprehension problem. Our government spends 3 times more on social entitlement programs than it does on the military. Eventually our government won't be able to pay for a military at all because its too busy paying for all the social entitlements that have been promised to people over the years. Tax revenues are at an all time high, and have been growing at record rates under President Bush due to his tax cuts. I have no problem with rich people receiving tax cuts because I would like to be one myself some day. Every government entity has some waste in it, but funding wars and the ability to wage them (if necessary) is not an exercise in efficiency but an exercise in overwhelming your enemy. Research and development is a key part to that in making weapons systems more accurate and making them safer for American troops to use. I don't have much faith in the human species outside our own borders. As soon as China believes we are too weak to defend Taiwan they will most likely start a military invasion of that country. Countries like Iran and Syria are feverishly working to create nuclear weapons so they can blow Israel off the map. Hell, even Russia is starting to act like its the cold war again with its military actions. We need to atleast maintain our military so that threats such as those mentioned do not become so overwhelming to us that we cannot handle them should they arise. Obama is promising us that he will dismantle our ability to defend ourselves and our allies in the hopes the rest of the world will follow our lead. Just like the idea of communism itself this sounds great until you put it into action and find out human nature doesn't react that way. Our current enemies and potential enemies need a reason to fear us. Take that away and watch the chaos ensue. [/QUOTE]
