After every modern war the US has engaged in, the Congress believed we could take the money we have been spending on defense and role it into social entitlement programs. That is probably one of the reasons we have about 26.4 million people working in or for government in the US. (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_percentage_of_americans_are_government_employed) So today’s question is: Now that the administration has declared peace in Iraq, kicked out that war monger Mubarak from Egypt, turned over the bombing of Libya to NATO, cut the head off al Qaeda, and is promising to withdraw from Afghanistan, what “peace dividend” can we anticipate? How much will the Department of Defense be reduced now that we live in a safer world? What will we stop expecting of the military? And what will we spend money we don't have on?
