reminds me of the Roman Empire. We have a presence in every country in the World except five. Compare this to those in our Government claiming we are spending too much on Social Security and Medicare versus our military spending in the name of U.S. interests. Is our interests, to maintain our empire? I suggest we cut the spending to maintain our empire. We still have maintained over 50 thousand troops in Germany. Why do we have that many troops in Germany? And what about South Korea? We even maintain a sizable force in Britain and Japan after World War II. Think about it, military presence in over 130 nations versus Social Security and Medicare expenditures. Lets talk about that spending. Congress don't want to go there. And they claim we are going broke? And what about that new defense system to protect Israel? Now we are defending Turkey? How does this spending defend the U.S.? Isn't that what Ran Paul claimed?
