This is so wrong it makes my head hurt, yet people blindly upvote. I'm very curious where these strong isolationist feelings amongst conservatives came from. clearing our position on the geopolitical chessboard seems naive to me.
Nevertheless -SS alone pays out like $1.4T a year. That along with Medicare are far and away our biggest expenses as a nation. yes we need adults in the room to make changes but it's so politically unpalatable to do so. Raise retirement ages, uncap the the limit for earnings, etc. Or just freaking do away with it and let me save for retirement on my own, which would work much better for me.

Not true. Both Medicare and defense spending comprise 13% of federal spending. If you don't think that defense is ripe for cuts, then you're probably a neo-con.
