Maybe the US should cut it's funds to its military world police.

[mad_gater]

every nation needs to defend itself so military spending is necessary....that being said the question is how much is being spent and can it be cut a bit without sacrificing the pay and care of our soldiers and veterans?

and I say yes military spending includes a lot of overpriced elements

There's defending itself, and then there's going to war with every other nation on Earth just because they don't agree with your policies.

Oh, and $10,000 toilet seats!

yeah.....certainly we could do without the expenditure in Libya

then there's the money spent of foreign aid...I think it's about time to turn off the spigot there too....esp. with regard to our enemies......I'd rather not see our enemies get one red cent from us in taxpayer money
