Because we spend more money on the military than something like the next ten countries combined? Not sure what "rebuilding" needs to be done. Whatever rebuilding is truly necessary shouldn't require the budget we currently have, much less a larger one. How much is enough? Part of the problem IS our foreign policy.

I feel like the spending we do on military doesnt reflect the need to 'rebuild'. The veterans and active duty personnel do not receive a fraction of the spending. It goes to whatever war or country building trend at the time. I think we should focus less on those type expenditures and more on our servicemen/women. This would also reflect in foriegn policy if we treat these people as investments instead of tools for pointless war.
I absolutely agree. But my point is that in doing those things, net spending should be a lot less. The problem is that when the president talks about "rebuilding", he is talking about significantly increasing net spending. I don't agree with doing that.
Thank you for giving me your view point. RESPECT
