Would you support my stimulus package designed to stimulate the economy with less government and more freedom?
Q. I'm proposing a Stimulus Package consisting of the following: A 50% cut in the defense budget (this is not an "extreme" proposal, as our current level of military spending is greater than the rest of the world combined; see ) If we cut defense spending in half, we'll still spend about 5 times as much as any other country and we'll still be capable of protecting America. Two places I'd suggest removing all troops from are Germany and Japan (didn't World War II end 64 years ago?). Legalization of Drugs - the Drug War wastes billions of dollars in a pointless attempt to try to stop people from using substances they want to use (see: ). Just as attempts to ban alcohol failed miserably, attempts to ban drugs have also failed miserably.… [cont.]
