Military Spending Killing the US

Saw a quote that brought some concern over how we’ve been in a war for so long that has contributed to economic hardships for the U.S. and the world as we saw in ‘08. But, what do you think of this quote by James Madison from “Political Observations”.

  “Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes … known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.… No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.”

~James Madison, Political Observations, 1795
