Yeah, I thought it a bit weak to consider defaulting the bold disaster-averting decision.
The decision should be to uphold your commitments and agreements and then look at the useless spending that does little but make (some) Americans feel more comfortable about state security.
Does anyone want to explain to me why it makes sense to allocate over 50% of spending towards the Pentagon and Iraq/Afghanistan?
