Adam Smith actually said...

"I do not believe that great power rivalry equals endless arms race."

"If we are going to get to where we need to go, we need to hear where can we save money."

"The immediate short-term impact of that is that we are going to hit the debt ceiling sooner than we had expected to because less revenue is coming into the Treasury."

"It is our paramount obligation to make sure that we fund that, that we do not have a situation where we give them so many tasks but not enough resources to train for them."
