Cutting the defense budget to solve the Social Security, Medicaid & Medicare cost problem will have dire consequences on the US. With our enemies arming up in China, Iran, N Korea along with terror organizations worldwide it makes no sense to gut our military to pre WWII levels. This is what you do if you want a nation to get bulldozed over. Emperor obama HATES the military, he uses them when it suits him politically but then throws them under the bus at every opportunity.
What you are witnessing America IS fundamental transformation. There is now a full shift in power from Congress to the Executive Branch (unchallenged), our military is being hollowed out, money is being funded into social entitlements and there is no end to the out of control spending on programs we do not need.
Why do you remain silent America? Why do you choose to go back to sleep? Those of you in the military your nation is being destroyed from within by domestic enemies you swore an oath to defend against! Why do you remain silent?
