Ron Paul: A Big Beautiful Bill For The Military-Industrial Complex

The US Senate worked through the weekend to pass the "Big Beautiful Bill" before the July 4th holiday, but disagreements among Republican Senators over spending reductions and tax credits were causing delays. The bill includes a significant increase in military spending, which has few Republican objectors, despite contradicting President Trump's promise to stop wasting money on endless wars. Some Republicans disagree over increasing the state and local tax deduction, which many conservatives see as encouraging big government. The bill's military spending will be used to put troops on the border, which raises concerns about using the military for domestic law enforcement. Increasing military spending while cutting spending on programs that help low-income Americans is seen as bad politics and policy. Polls show that most Americans, including many Republicans, do not support overseas intervention. The growing opposition to the US's hyper-interventionist foreign policy is due to the financial burden and loss of liberty it imposes on Americans. To truly make America great again, Republicans need to adopt a noninterventionist foreign policy that prioritizes the country's own freedom and independence. This would allow the government to pay down the national debt and respect the constitutional limits on its powers. A return to a noninterventionist foreign policy is the only way to restore a government that respects all the people's rights all the time.
