Are you really claiming that if the US stopped subsidizing security overseas, American voters and politicians would suddenly begin to support "free healthcare and college" in the US? Your claim is that it's a _budget issue_?

That wasn't my point at all. Can you read?
The point is the wonderful benefits of European social democracy is only possible because they aren't spending nearly what they would have to on defense if the US wasn't funding most of NATO.
Its easy to give your citizens free healthcare and college when taxpayers over in America forgo all of that to subsidize your country's security.
