Adam Smith: “To me the biggest loser in Afghanistan is the nation that stays the longest.”

The problem with this year's defense authorization bill is that it comes with the inclusion of $1.15 trillion in discretionary spending.

I think that whole thing has created a major problem as well.

Having people stand out in front of my house, screaming death threats at me and threatening my wife.

Our country faces threats and DoD has modernization needs, but I will not support making massive cuts to critically important domestic programs and slashing taxes to meet those needs.
