Adam Smith actually said...

"We have to begin to confront that inconsistency if we, as policymakers, are going to have the political space to make the choices that need to be made."

"The U.S. military is the modern era's greatest champion of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

"Large, immediate cuts to the defense budget would have substantially negative impacts to the ability of the U.S. military."

"Cuts to our Nation's defense, either by eliminating programs or laying off soldiers, comes with an economic cost."
