I don't think the key issue to make in today's budget priority debate is 'what is the point of our military defense?'
For instance, what good is it to have the best offensive military weapons to prevent people from invading our country and blowing up our infrastructure - while our infrastructure is ALREADY and literally falling apart due to old age and neglect? Is there really a difference between some terrorist blowing up a bridge in this country or having one fall down under its own weight?
I remember as a kid we would build competing forts. The goal was to build the coolest one. Build. What a silly, kiddie concept....
What is it that we are defending? Who is going to be able to pay the price for it - the Mexican and Chinese workers getting paid dirt wages in their respective countries to manufacture everything for us?
I fear the only interest for defense is the protection of our precious rich elite. I guess they can't pay taxes now because they know that as we digress into a third-world nation, they will need that money to pay their own personal armies to defend their castles from the serfs.
