The warfare state threatens to bankrupt our country just as quickly as the welfare state does. Our national DEFENSE is authorized by The Constitution. To that extent, fighting terrorists and terrorism is appropriate. My point is that lots of money is wasted by programs near and dear to the respective parties' hearts. Neither party is willing to give on their golden goose, and both demonize the other for doing just that. We should fund ANY program with the pretense of "job creation."
