Surely, you jest.
- More importantly, how will Romney propose to pay for increased defense spending while still moving towards a balanced budget and reducing the national debt? We'll find out very quickly whether ANY political party actually embraces the arithmetic of budget balancing. Being a politician is really easy when you have (our) open checkbook.
