Would you support cutting military spending? It's a lot higher than other countries.

That's because the US also defends the free world.

Besides, not spending enough on the military can get very, very expensive.

The US invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Iraq have sure helped defend the free world. How many trillions went into those combined? Fantastic return per $ of "free world defense".

Definitely and we should have affordable universal healthcare and subsidized state university tuition. Everything else should be cut as much as possible. I don't see any programs that are working well.
