Perry supports more defense spending

Balancing the budget isn't important when a candidate has some imperial agenda. Bush argued against adventurism in his campaign talk and Perry has done the same. But his book tells another story. He rails against a cut during Clinton's time and says that he would fight to increase spending. This may make sense to a guy that packs heat but is insanity for our Federal budget. We spend as much as the rest of the world combined (click here for the info. on that). Our neighbors are Canada and Mexico. We need to pull back our hundreds of thousands of troops deployed all over the world, including Iraq (50k) and Afghanistan (125k) and cut the military budget to something sane. Like spending as much per capita as Russia or Britain. We are on a war footing as if WWII never ended. Perry would be part of this problem.
