I agree and I’m an older Republican. Over the years Republican politicians have been masters of bad optics.
One question I have on defense spending is how much would a strong national defense really cost if it is only used to defend our nation? What is expensive is the Uniparty’s expansive definition of “national security” and “national interest.”
From what I've seen, "national security" and "national interest" are magic words, to be uttered when the Deep State thinks it's not getting Congress to give them enough of our money.
It's "our allies" driving up the defense budget. We could absolutely defend our borders with a tiny fraction of the spending we do now. Unfortunately we also have to pay for the entire world.
