"There is not a snowball’s chance in the hot place of containing America’s public debt disaster unless the Empire is brought home and the national security budget is slashed by $500 billion per year. The merits aside, all the other big slices of the budget led by Social Security and Medicare are surrounded by nearly impenetrable political moats.

Fortunately, the $500 billion savings from the national security budget is not only doable but fully warranted on the merits. The fact is, our present bloated Empire-serving Warfare State is not remotely necessary for homeland security and the proper foreign policy of a peaceful Republic.

In this context, let’s start with the sheer bloated size of the national security budget for the current year (FY 2025). Including a 22% pro rata share of debt service payments, the comprehensive national security budget amounts to just under $1.6 trillion.

Part of the blame must be shared by the people. USA has been told it's the greatest power on earth etc and at no time was the expenditure scrutinised. War itself has been a proven vote winner for many presidents. I can't see any significant budget cuts in my lifetime.
