Solve excess military budget, assist border patrol, stop illegal activities & stimulate economy.?

Question

We have approximately 130 overseas military bases. Our federal budget is out of control & we cannot continue to finance this "Roman empire" any longer & shouldn't. We have a financial & border crisis that needs to be corrected. So..I think there should be...

1) Overseas base reduction from 130 to 80.

2) Bring these soldiers home and create bases near the U.S. Mexican border.

a) Will assist the U.S border patrol to stop ALL illegal activities (immigration, weapons, money laundering, drugs).

3 ) Stimulate economies of border towns.

4) Military budget can get under control and possibly be lowered by 50 billion w/out sacrificing national security. In other words, we can improve national security and a reduction in the military budget by re-allocating military personnel to border towns....

Good idea?

Answer 1

No. After whats happened in the middle east we don't really have those options. We just need to balance the budget and seal the border and have a moratorium on immigration.

Answer 2

Makes sense to me! Now all you have to do is get the idiots in Washington to put your plan into action!
