3. An optimist would say that this would force us to spend within our means.

Today that requires a substantial cut to department of defense. We simply can no longer afford to field a Navy for example that is larger than entire rest of worlds Navies combined and then doubled.

I am not talking about stripping DOD to the bones just accepting reality and making substantial cuts.

Then again I am not an optimist.
