re: #69 BarackObama

We spend more on social security (EXCLUDING medicaid, Welfare, etc) than we do on Defense.

In terms of ratio, we’re already spending more at home than abroad.

In terms of effectiveness of that spending at home versus abroad, we kinda suck.

I think “Focus” is the key factor. Besides, the phrase “Provide for the common defense” springs to mind in regards to priority of spending.
