Itll just cost us more when we have to go to great lengths to fight our enemies, now that they do not have us on their border watching them, and we have no bases to extend our reach. Besides, national security spending is a minority of our budget. If you really want to strengthen the economy and the dollar, and reduce gas prices, cut govt services, reduce taxes. This will give people more of their own money to innovate.
