Military Spending

Considering the depth of our Federal Deficit, we should ask why our military spending is so much out of proportion with the rest of the globe.   Admittedly, these figures are not adjusted for purchasing power: I am sure that a Chinese soldier earns less than a US soldier.  Nevertheless, it seems unreasonable that our military spending is more than the next 18 largest counties combined.  
During Ronald Reagan's presidency, the US engaged in a military arms race with the intent to bankrupt the Soviet Union.  This strategy, combined with an engineered drop in the price of oil, succeeded in bringing down the Soviet Union.   The Soviet situation in the 1980's is similar to the United States today -- but we are doing it to ourselves.

  1. I Finally Got Helped  !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman  and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out..  I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact  Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp cell number  +2347012841542
