Also your math is off bro. $5 times 300 million would be $1.5 billion dollars not trillion.
As for the military coming home...It's time to change the way our country works. IF we have to rely on having troops all around the world to keep our economy afloat...then we need to CHANGE that. I'm sorry if they come home from partying in Germany or Japan and have to enter the work force like the rest of us. But it's time. WW2 has been over for 70 years.
You can't just keep justifying spending 10.6 BILLION dollars per day. You can keep trying. But eventually we will run out of credit and we can't keep printing money (and making it worthless) forever.
When that happens..then WHAT do you suggest? Magic? Wishful thinking?
Because when that day comes...EVERYBODY is going to lose ALL their entitlements. And the military won't have any money either.
The gravy train has to stop Tony.
Tell me...how can you tax the American people 10.6 BILLION dollars every day?
Answer: You can't. And you shouldn't anyway.

Sorry for the math being off. I agree but how do you do that?
You let the army go ? Where do all those people find work?
What do you do about companies that pay people close to nothing so they need gov benefits but work full time(aka walmart)? And let them get another job is not the answer in lots of places.
Where do you cut?
Also FYI riots in the streets wont be people like us.We have shit to lose. It will be the people that didnt have shit and we cut more from them.
Also raising taxes wont fix it alone. You got to cut and raise rev.
But this is the bullshit the gop do to get the base all fired up and it worked. Read the two Santa Claus theory
During Bush they had wars unfunded, a medicare drug program unfunded and that was fine. Ryan the numbers guy voted for it and any spending bush wanted.
If Romney wins and has the house and senate. Let me tell you how it will go. They will say omg its worse than we thought we have to save the economy and they will start spending at a level you have never seen. And you will support it because all of a sudden it makes sense now. They will also lower taxes on the rich and kiss the mortgage deduction goodbye. They will also cut some programs that stick it to the middle and low class.They will also blame obama all 4 yrs and you will be ok with that.
