Military spending at What level are you refering to? Usa spending more then the rest of the world combined? thats Okay?

being stationed in a good 40 random countries? thats fine? how much does that cost each day to keep up? I heard the war costs 200 million a day, what about all the bases combined in all the countries? I just dont understand the point. Focus on America and make shit better for once.

America seems like a powerful child thats not mature enough to control their spending.. and no one is allowed to point it out.. because the military are afterall fighting for your freedom in 20 countries

We'll gladly stop supporting Europe who seems to have had no problem renting our military out for Libya. Then your already bankrupt countries can take further losses when they have to spend their own money on defense.

LOL @ someone from Europe lecturing Americans on debt. The EU is a c\/nt-hair away from complete implosion and still Europeans think they're in a position to lecture Americans.

How many countries in Europe are completely insolvent? For starters, the PIIGS and England. Eventually France and Germany after they just signed their fates away on the EFSF this week.

Where did I say you were wrong? I'm saying that you aren't in a position to lecture us. We need to stop spending on our military and we can begin by cutting ties with the Europeans countries in NATO, the majority of which, despite making a commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defense as part of membership, come in well under that. Even with them relying on our military for everything (renting us out for Libya), they're STILL bankrupt.

Typical European hiding from the EU's complete failure.

Sweden is part of the EU, so no, you're not doing "fine". The only thing saving Sweden is the fact that they were smartest enough to stay off the Euro.

Maybe maybe not. The problem is that we have a $1.5 TRILLION deficit. That is deficit!

Yes we need to cut back EVERYTHING, however, to simply state that the defense spending is the main cause of the problem is pure nonsense,

Plus, the commies and mini-madoffs like Obama and Pelosi dont want to use cuts in defense to save money or shrink govt, they want to use that money for social welfare somelse.

And if we are spending money, I rather it go to defense than the lazy thugs, slugs, leeches, skells, public employee unions, and entitlement parasites.

I agree. I was not accusing you of saying its the sole reason, but to here many in this country talk who are leftists, they blame everything on defense.

we need across the board cuts in EVERYTHING.

No. Military spending is one of the places that cuts will have to be made. I'm referring to your constant barrage of generalizations concerning American thought, as as if the country is of one single mindset.

Do you have the impression that we all sit in a room and high five when we hear about opening a new base overseas?

What are you basing the notion on that most American support excessive spending?

No, it was all alone Obama's fault.

If you have no clue about economics, why not just STFU, "Coach"?

Stick to giving training advice.

Agreed. This Coach guy is probably the dumbest guy on Getbig besides Johnny Falcon.
