It makes America less secure and it puts our boys and girls in the armed services in harm's way. It also costs huge amounts of money for us to be funding the defense of Europe and Asia and all the other parts of the world where we have intervened. The small government solution is to limit the military to defending America. That is a function authorized by the Constitution. I would consider anything that is viable and that the experts, upon scrutiny, can substantiate makes America safer.
Big government wants to intervene militarily and then regulate trade.
Small government wants to limit the military to protecting America and open trade. Trade promotes peace between countries. Trade promotes prosperity. The Senate should keep its hands out of trade altogether and allow Americans to trade with the world. Healthcare in this country is pathetic compared to what it could be.
