Although it is often expensive, defense, unlike social programs, is specifically granted as a power in the Constitution. Defense is a legitimate area of government but also an area in which much care must be taken. Historically disasters such as World War II have followed periods of disarmament and appeasement. Taken into consideration that the cost of rebuilding the military to previous levels costs an average of three times the origional cost, it is wise to maintain a strong and constant defense program. So has this statement proven true over and over again.
Elections depend on participation.
To prevent corruption and ensure liberty, we must participate in elections. We must watch our freedom or we may find it in danger. Human individuality must be acknowledged. The pessimistic outlooks of doom so often spread among the left wing fall short for even in the most dire circumstances, life comes through. Origional intentions,though, must never be ignored.
