Where the Security Strategy Misses
Posted by Stephen Cline on May 30th, 2010The National Security Strategy was released on Thursday amid the uncertainty of the U.S. economy going in to another recession. The National Security Strategy misses the fact that the country is still not certain of achieving the full growth that it expected and the growth speed has been less than anticipated. With the environment of scarcity that the country is facing, it is surprising if the economists even make half of the written proposals.
The National Security Strategy outlines the goals, the prioritization of goals and obtaining the wealth necessary to fulfill these goals. And there is also some mention about spending the money of the Tax payer wisely. The strategy also mentions the sustaining of global economy, when the economy of the U.S. is itself in turmoil and after all this it promises security for food, medical and reducing poverty of the economies in a state of depression. The strategy completely discards the fact that the short term deficits will grow our economy and the long term debts will increase the financial fiscal problems. It is needed that the defense budget is cut and the money be used for other means like medical and food expenses.
