During a speech at an event called "Freedom Fest," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin warned Tea Party activists that while government spending was a bad thing, conservatives should not go too far and start calling for reductions in the military budget.
While Palin told the crowd in Norfolk, Virginia, "Something has to be done urgently to stop the out-of-control Obama-Reid-Pelosi spending machine," she also told them, "We must make sure, however, that we do nothing to undermine the effectiveness of our military."Sarah Palin thinks we shouldn't do anything to the ever exploding "defense" budget. News for you Sarah, the military budget, all discretionary, is another huge chunk in our ever expanding deficit and govenment control. We spend nearly as much on "defense" as the rest of the world combined. I agree that our spending on the welfare state is egregiously too high. But that doesn't mean her precious "defense" budget is off limits. The only true fiscal conservative in DC, Dr Ron Paul, completely disagrees with her.
And as always, the other dangers of the Military Industrial Complex:
