Here's one example. Some here at FR will disagree with me, but I think Paul is correct when he says that we simply cannot be the world's policeman. It is too expensive, and it allows our allies to shirk their responsibilities.
Rome tried to by the world's policeman (Pax Romana). It bankrupted them. Then Britain tried. It bankrupted them. Now it's our turn to be bankrupted.
Another way to look at it is Frederick the Great's "He who defends everything defends nothing." Ron Paul would certainly agree with that.
That's not what's bankrupting us. It's Socialism and the entitlement mentality. Half the population is on the take.
