So it ISN'T just "afghanistan and the world" that are the problem, it's THIS ADMINISTRATION'S ECONOMIC POLICIES. Partly true, however, spending a trillion dollars on endless wars did not help. More money was spent propping up the "fat cat" bankers (Obama's words) than in supporting the consumer/taxpayer who is saddled with the debts. Obama spent well over a Trillion dollars in one fell swoop last spring. It's taken 9 years to spend that much in BOTH Iraq and Afghanistan. Hmm, did the problem started with the last administration? Furthermore, when you have millions of illegal aliens permitted, if not encouraged, to compete with both lower and middle class labor in this country. Some would argue that our economic power was built on slavery. However, that is not the point. The middle class is being destroyed. And it isn't from spending relatively paltry amounts (compared to other government spending) defending this country. I have a problem with that statement. What do you mean defending this country when we invade other countries? Defending mean you prevent the enemy from entering not waging a war outside your borders.
