Does ANYBODY on this board realize the difference between entitlement spending and non-entitlement spending?
Yes.
Some people can't see the difference between a lean government and a big one though.
Does anyone think we need the level of military abroad we currently have?

I dont think we need the level of military abroad that we currently have and if the majority of UN members would pull their fair share of missions then we could possibly be a leaner defense force. On that same note, people think we need a leaner and faster military which means it takes less money to become.....It will still take the same amount...fewer soldiers but more exspensive equipment to purchase and maintain. The downfall to this leaner and faster military is if we ever got into another war, the leaner, faster more powerful military utilizes weapons of mass destruction (Im not referencing Nukes). This country has way too many soft-hearted people. The majority would not want us destroying whole towns of women and children to win the war and we would require a large ground assault in order to lessen those types of casualties. Well this leaner military will not have the strength to engage in ground warfare with anyone. The point being, until the UN members pull their weight, we will continue to need a large military or until the US grows some and says we arent babysitting the world any longer. And we all know what the outcome would be if we stop policing the world. We are watching that on the news since our foreign diplomacy has gone in the crapper. I dont believe Putin would have pulled this on any President prior to Obama...well back to Jimmy Carter. He would have done this to Carter also.
