Similarly, I think we'd be happy to pay $600Bn for national defense if we were convinced we're really buying $600Bn worth of national defense. But headlines like the following are not encouraging:
Report: Military not ready for US attackWe're paying $600Bn/year on defense for what again????
Afghanistan may plunge into 'failed state', experts warn
The greatest military in the world is losing two wars to third-world insurgents.
These two wars have crippled our military's ability to defend the country.
To any Democratic candidates out there who might be listening: here's a barn-door opening for you to stress that YOU have better national security credibility than your Republican opponent!
They - the Republicans - are the ones that got us into this mess. It's pure foolishness to expect 'em to get us out!!
Stop the madness!
