Rising Debt, Sinking Security » The Foundry
As the Obama administration and the liberals in Congress push our nation deeper and deeper in debt they are cutting back on our national security and defense spending. We are fighting wars on two fronts and they are cutting back on weapons and supplies our troops need! Last month 16 soldiers died when their positions were overrun. The soldiers could not defend themselves because their rifles jammed!
….either nuclear weapons nor terrorism may be the greatest threat to American prosperity and security. Instead, it may be something we hear very little about in the mainstream media: our burgeoning national debt. Runaway spending on entitlements, bailouts, and stimulus bills are driving the budget deficit upward. As an article in The Washington Times explains, massive government debt may be the force that ultimately overcomes the nation’s ability to be the “master of its own destiny.” Publicly-held debt now stands at $7 trillion, or about $22,000 per person. And it could double in the next ten years, leaving less and less for spending on defense.
