Why do we need to spend $400 Billion on defense this year...?

Well you know that is actually the only number one function of government to protect it's citizens. Almost everything else it does is bogus. Do you understand just exactly how much 9/11 cost this economy ? DO you understand that if just 1 type of incident like this happens every other year that we are doomed ?

"This country continues to antagonize other nations and often fails to lead by example in important areas (such as combating poverty "

We give more then any other nation but that never matters to people like you. DO you pay the type of taxes that help or are you a typical deadbeat liberal who is anxious to give the hours of another person's life away ? Nothing is stopping you or any other liberal from giving more. We give billions to Egypt and they hate us. But you can march and organize and give them more. You are free to donate to people who hate you.
