The US doesn't need a big military to find the terrorists under your bed. I would not give the American public much credit for their intelligence. They says agree with you because like you they don't understand economics and social systems. Nobody is saying we need to be poor, defenseless and trillions of dollars in debt. BTW, why ARE we trillions of dollars in debt? It wasn't Obama who did that but your buddy George W Bush and his corporatist Republicans. However Americans have been living high on the hog with credit for years. Now many are in debt. Why couldn't they see that coming. And many were sold homes at inflated prices and given loans for them they really couldn't afford. All so the robber barons could rise again and steal from the public.
