Setting different priorities.

U.S. officials are complaining. That NATO allies aren’t putting forth enough effort. In waging wars. In Libya and other places. That Americans are putting forth the lion’s share. And that ain’t fair. But personally, I have respect for the allies. For holding back. For setting different priorities. By spending more on solving domestic problems. Rather than spending on defense and foreign policy. Yes, taking care of their internal matters and their own people. Maybe if the U.S. did that, we’d have fewer poor people and more jobs. It’s something to think about. –Jim Broede
