I believe that interest payments on the national debt exceed the defense budget this year. Something's gotta give.

That's the tragedy of the book -- they could have emphasized the ways that cutting-edge tech can significantly cut costs. Coupled with a significant drawdown of absurd commitments to wealthy nations (an area I am 100 PERCENT on board with Trump on), the savings could be huge.

But they're swamp creatures, who don't question anything D.C. holds dear. They see tech as a way to do even MORE abroad. Nuts.
