Re: Big army, low taxes?

How much longer can the US military remain the most powerful in the world without a substantial increase in the US tax base?
Hmmm... I was going to say indefinitely if we phased out all our unconstitutional entitlement and social programs and redirected that money to the military, but a good portion of that needs to go towards deficit reduction and possibly debt reduction. That probably still leaves us at indefinitely, but it's not the simple/obvious answer it seemed at first glance.
