I believe our politicians have forgotten our America! Our goverment closed Military bases around the USA which financially devastated the surrounding communities. We maintain Military bases around the world which financially supports the countries they are in. The money paid to our military personell is spent there and goes that countries coffers. I believe we need to take care of America first or as my grandparents said "Charity begins at home".

 

We don't have enough Military in this country right now to stop a foreign invasion. We are at the mercy of our enemies, isn't it time we become stronger with our Military being based in our country. We ahve no business trying to control the world when we can't even take care of our elderly, indigent, and sick. The money we send out of this country can be invested in jobs, technology, healthcare, etc., etc.  Less than 0.5% of our population is in the military and most of them are scattered around the world, even our National Guard has been deployed else where. We need to bring build new military bases here at home this will do several things for our country. 1. Improve our National Security. 2 Provide jobs to build new military bases. 3. Use our technology to monitor the world via satellites and use our superior technology to set weaponry to protect our country from possible invasions. Stop borrowing money from other countries to give to other nations. If other nations need money let them ask for it, and not expect us to borrow money to give to what is in many cases a total waste of time and money. We need to protect the financial security of our nation. Should We Take Care of America First!

Let me hear your comments on how you think we need to procede.
