An interesting video from The Heritage Foundation. The question is: does the U.S. want to continue to be the policeman of the world... or is it willing to cede that position to ... China? No one? If the U.S. takes the Libertarian Party viewpoint that free trade is all that is necessary to ensure world peace, then the U.S. can save a lot of money... presuming that Libertarians are correct.
Raise your hand if you agree with saving trillions of dollars by converting aircraft carriers into cargo ships.
