US defense budget could be trimmed by 1 trillion $ over the next 10 years

I'd probably oppose this being big on defense. Tackle the deficit by, modestly, raising taxes on the primary beneficiaries of that supply-side nonsense, I would

Instead of raising taxes we could easily cut unnecessary "defense" spending.  Close all our bases in Europe at the very least and cut aid.

Right now, I have never felt more fearful that the worst (Depression) has been far from averted. Livelihoods are at stake, lives are at risk

Wasting billions on our bloated "defense" budget and foreign wars of intervention isn't going to do anything to avert it.

Dave, what moral obligation do I have to hire someone if I can't afford to hire them, or simply don't want to fill  the position to save money?

I just wish Western businesses were doing more to create jobs for Western people because I don't think government spending alone can secure the recovery

I maxed out on credit cards doing my bit - and I don't see a lot of light at the end of the tunnel. I've never felt to 'powerless'. I can't do anymore

Using that same reasoning, wouldn't it make sense to stop spending so much money on foreign countries?

I'm proud to support a massive defense budget.
