YADT (Yet Another Debt Thread)

I say cut SS and cut medicaide. The more old people that die the less it will cost. Make teachers pay SS also. That way the government will have to pay the matching funds. Cut back on tax deductions and start firing people that work in the government. Refuse to fund any military action overseas. Congress has the votes to cut off all funding for Iraq and Afghanistan. Either declare war and start killing people of pull out. We dont need to pay soldiers to be policemen. Pull out all of our troops from Europe and let the EU defend itself. Then pull all the troops out of Asia. If a country is not willing to pay for the troops then we cant afford to keep a base there.

Wow.

So if we close most of our overseas bases, how much would that save? And do we really need as many as we have.

according to this site:
http://sirenschronicles.com/2009/05/14/how-many-military-bases-do-we-have-around-the-world/
We have over 1,000 bases/installations. Do we really need that many.
