We don’t have European comforts because we pay for our own national defense. We also pay for Europe’s defense.

We should work out a deal where we continue to provide their security, and they provide our healthcare. Even Stevens.

American healthcare is not underfunded due to defence spending. American healthcare is very well funded. It's just horribly inefficient and perverse.

The USA pays for a lot of offense too. The USA also pays a lot for healthcare in general so lack of funds isn’t the issue.

It never seizes to amaze me the simplicity with which the Americans view the world :)

There's literally a war in Europe right now because Europeans underfunded defense. Luckily, America will save you again :)
