Double Military Spending, halve Domestic Spending
We should double our military spending so we can simultaneously defeat all of our enemies: Islamists, Mexico, and various, more minor threats like piracy on the ocean. Our domestic spending is way too redistributionist, and the vast majority of it is unneeded. Worst offenders at the federal level: National Endowment for the Arts, Amtrak, foreign aid, farm subsidies, car subsidies, and all other subsidies. We could use money we don't spend on propping up domestic industries on ensuring that foreign countries stop cheating. We need less of our government at home, and more of it abroad. The best known uses for government are military, currency, and schools. I suspect everything else can be done privately. So we can spread American military and schools all over the world and leave the rest of our institutions in history. And I mean everything. We should eliminate cities, counties, and states, because they are wasteful.
