but you might be surprised by how little we're going to save compared to what Social Security costs right now.

SS has a surplus right now.

Ted, > We can't afford squat thanks to our global military.

We should eventually pull out of South Korea, but you might be surprised by how little we're going to save compared to what Social Security costs right now.

We spend roughly $1.25 billion per year on the soldiers stationed in SK and another $1.75 billion on the soldiers in Japan. And there isn't a special deduction in your pay check to cover that particular cost like there is with SS.
