Forever? It's four years and the flip will flop back to the other side. Funny how the rest of the world immediately hates America when we decide we are tired of paying the largest share for the security of Europe for 80 years, or we are tired of our immigration laws being ignored, or we are tired of having our middle class jobs shipped overseas. People only like us for our money, weapons, and jobs. They want the benefits of American culture and capitalism without any of the responsibility.

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.

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.
