M mattapan26 Guest Nov 2, 2008 #4 I know that Carter did, I don't think that Clinton cut military spending over the term of his 8 years in office.

S SkepDoc 2.0 Guest Nov 2, 2008 #6 The US spends close to 1/4 of its' entire budget on the military. You don't think that's a bit excessive and paranoid? You don't think there are better thinks to spend money on? The US has been almost continuously at war with somebody or other for almost it's entire existence.
