The National Debt

Politicians and some economists are concerned about the long term effects of America having so much national debt. They are wringing their hands and setting up commissions to try and figure out what needs to be done.

It is simple. Honest.

The Roman Empire and many other world powers eventually lost it because of their out of control spending on foreign military entanglements. Useless and unnecessary wars. Pretending to be the world's policeman. America is well on its way down this slope.

We should cut spending on the military, military hardware and bases, nuclear and all other weapons of war, and all the various national intelligence agencies like the CIA by 25%. Almost magically the problem will be solved. Overnight.
