Mark my words, major cuts will be coming soon. Unless we opt to fund the government through massive printing. The sooner we come to terms with it the better. Currently we have bases in every country that borders Iran. Which is roughly 11 nations, including several most have not heard off. 1/2 of all money spent on military, is spent by the US.
Sadly we will not cut spending, not of entitlements and not on military. We are in a spending free fall. Nothing but big spenders running.
