Empire For Ever - Working Americans Denied basic services because US maintains 737 bases and 250,000+ military personnel world wide

Empire For Ever - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan: "Occupations are the foreign equivalent of entitlement programs. They never end. Why should Americans be denied basic access to health insurance because the money is going to sustain 50,000 troops in Germany, for Pete's sake, or to tamp down sectarian conflicts that have existed for centuries in a country we had no troops in for all of US history until 2003?

When will this madness end? Do we really have to go completely bankrupt and be forced to withdraw from these anachronistic pretensions? Are seven years not enough?"
