while I don't have a HUGE economic education, common sense tells me that the neo-conservative branch of the political machine is driving this deficit spending for military activities abroad. It just happens to coincide with the deficit hawks approach to starving the beast and forcing the people to accept entitlement spending cuts.
Personally, I think cutting entitlement spending could work provided the gov does two things......put a HUGE halt to all illegal immigration labor practices by going after the employers and removing all unemployment benefits. This would solve major problems in the US economy.
