Of course they will. Because, unless we spend as much as the rest of the world combined, we’ll never be safe. Or some such malarkey. Talk about bloat…look at the defense budget.

We spend as much on defense as the next 25 countries on the list combined. Can’t remember where I saw it so no link but it sounds about right.

There’s plenty to cut there, it’s where we need to start. Defense is almost 50% of discretionary spending every year.
