Is Federal Deficit A National Security Problem?

GOP debate begins ...

Fred Thompson
"We're bankrupting the next generation without any question ... " National security is affected, he said, because we're forced to queeze military spending. Twice as much, tho, going to entitlements.

Mitt Romney
"This is not a time to wring our hands and think the future is bleak. In fact, the future is bright."
Govt needs to promote policies that provide good jobs, good schools, good healthcare ...

(Not exactly an answer to the question.)

Mike Huckabee
"It's most certainly a national security threat," he said. "A country can only be free if it can do three things ... " feed itself, fight for itself and fuel itself.

John McCain
"We will in five years become oil independent."

And Alan Keyes
