Yes, any effort on our part to interdict that on the part of Iran is steeped with great dangers, but it will pale in insignificance compared to dealing with Iran after they gain nuclear weapons. It was very touching to me because its not just a motorcycle gang; this was a group of people dedicated to remembering those who gave everything they had for us. This is not something that we can say probably wont happen; they are certainly trying to make it happen. the government pays the army and gives them weapons and that the govt has the powers to finance wars or not to pay for them and they make the rules for the army. In such a scenario, Dr. William Graham, chairman of Americas EMP Commission, estimates that 70 to 90 percent of the stricken nations population would be unsustainable.

The Department of Defense is just another government program, no different from any other either historically or constitutionally or, for that matter, morally. Under the Articles of Confederation, no authority existed to Let me underscore another point about the condition. In closing, let me say that we have a deficit; we have a debt problem. By providing for the common defense, the Constitution secures the inalienable rights recognized in the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I know countless individuals who have lost their health and their wealth because they did not have health insurance. [2] If you overcompensate, for example, with retirement benefits, you tend to get people staying in the military long after theyve frightened the enemy because they can do well. So entitlements will grow at about 3 percent per year; the threat to our national security will only increase when you look at the budgetary demand that will come about as a consequence of that growth. . Its an innovative way of thinking about this issue, but it reminded me of something else. Kim R. Holmes: Congressman Franks should be joining us here in a few minutes. When the family stepped aside, government stepped in. The Honorable Trent Franks: EMP stands for electromagnetic pulse, and its a massive rush of charged ions rushing toward the Earth that can build an electronic load in the leads going into transformers and literally cause them to overload and burn themselves up. . Weve looked at health care, personnel savings, logistics efficiencies, and we have identified billions of dollars in efficiencies that we believe can be taken and that money plowed back into the defense budget. It seems like we dont ever want to attack the hard issue, which is strategic: How much force do we want to be able to project in the world? China is a regional power. I have very high umbrella insurance for people who may fall down in my front yard and break something, because I know that lawyers will take every penny I have.

I dont doubt that these threats are very real and are a real security threat to the U.S. I believe in talking with people and doing everything we can to express a peaceful intent with everyone.

Everything else followed. I want to thank our distinguished panelists and our guests here today for joining us to try to get a better handle on the problem. More Americans are on food stamps now than ever before in our history; with a 41 percent out-of-wedlock birthrate, we face the prospect of most of our American children becoming eligible for Medicaid. Thats why it was essential to come together again and advance the NDAA to bolster our own military posture, enact policies that encourage deterrence, project leadership, and deploy innovative strategies to maximize advantages that serve our national security objectives, reassure our allies, and help defend our freedoms and ideals at home and abroad. We did a study about a year and a half ago called A Strong National Defense,[4] in which we talk about what our strategic interests are, why they are our interests. So you have to be very unsentimental about it. Its very difficult for me to tell you how bewildering it is to me to hear our own President expressing more outrage toward Israel for building homes in its own capital city than he has expressed toward a madman like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for building nuclear weapons with which to threaten the peace of the entire human family. 3377, September 29, 2011; and Building a Better Military Health Care System, Heritage Foundation WebMemo No. I live in Northwest Washington; every other neighbor I have is a lawyer.

I think thats certainly a legitimate question. After meeting with leaders from the 188th Air Wing at Fort Smith, it was clear to me that our service members need more support when it comes to options for child care and assistance. Kim Holmes, As everyone in this room is very likely already aware, the Iranian regime is moving closer than ever before to developing nuclear weapons. [2]See Baker Spring, Centralizing Management of the Military Health System, Heritage Foundation Issue Brief No. Thats why I submitted an amendment, adopted by the Senate, directing the DoD to research, report and provide recommendations to Congress on how to provide 24-hour child care to military families assigned to around-the-clock, rotational units here at home. This Senate-passed NDAA does just that, which makes us and the rest of the world safer. Maybe its 2 or 3 percent that something will go wrong. What happens if we have to gut infrastructure in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, for example, and keep the flow of oil going? I want sufficient superiority in terms of our human resources, our human capital, and our technology that even the most idiotic of the despots out there would not think about attacking our country or moving on our interests. With the Iranians, hes discovered thats not the case. These jihadists talk like they know something that at least they think the rest of us dont, and history reminds us to take such madmen seriously. The Honorable Trent Franks: I am always so grateful to be among all of you. That is a sensible strategy, bearing in mind the need for defense, to get the right capabilities and the right quality of personnel as efficiently as possible. What we see today so often happening is that people get the whole thing the wrong way around. So as important as I believe missile defense isand Im the chairman of the Missile Defense Caucus, so I believe its very, very importantwe have to harden our grid, because we invite some sort of an EMP attack if we dont, and there are even scenarios where potentially, if we had to engage a nuclear incoming mid-range and medium-range missile at lower altitude, we could even precipitate an EMP attack on ourselves if they fused the warhead. Of course, the liberals were willing for awhile to say yes, there is such a thing as EMP because we know that the sun can cause that. The Senate and the House of Representatives each recently passed versions of the legislation, marking the 60thconsecutive year this has occurred. Our security needs precede how we think about what part of our national treasure should be devoted to that, because if you dont see it as preceding it, you will not have the resources down the road, and you wont have the growth that is necessary. Resources are finite: $3.5 trillion in federal outlays is already almost 25 percent of all U.S. market activity. We have to understand the intent of our enemy. We lost the last best chance to stop Hitler in his march to war, and when war came, 11,000 American and Filipino soldiers were forced to surrender to the Japanese because of heedless economies in defense. Certainly in World War II, as Churchills comments so profoundly came true, we saw the devastating result of not responding soon enough, because we could have. . I think President Obama came into office thinking that one of the reasons why the Iranians and people in the Middle East hated us so much is because were over there, so if we just pull back, they will not hate us as much as they did before. It is three dimensional in that its a moral crisis because of the intergenerational theft that we are witnessing, the robbing of our children and our grandchildren. The final report of the National Defense Strategy Commission is a compilation of the assessments of the National Defense Strategy and recommendations based on its analysis related not just to defense strategy, but also to the larger geopolitical environment in which that strategy must be executed. I always thought that my first obligation as mayor of Cincinnati was to create a secure environment for families to rear children, educate those children successfully, where capital felt that the environment was secure enough for adequate investment. Let me underscore something: The most important contributor to economic growth is human capital. If you look closely at the numbers, however, you find that it is runaway entitlement spending that is feeding and will continue to feed the debt crisis, not defense spending. Its not the question that I was asking these two gentlemen to address. The Honorable Ken Blackwell: Stuart made a point. For example, we get very upset about asbestos; we make sure that people who are riding bikes and motorcycles wear helmets; and we want to make sure our toys dont harm our children. Security and protection of people and institutions and buildings and so on is equally important and critical to growth. With the SHIELD Act, well prevent that, and Im just hoping as much as possible that Heritage and other groups will make that issue known. I believe that social issuesspecifically, the strength of the American familydrive success or failure over the long term of our common defense. Rather than allowing their faith and their hope to be crushed by atrocities, they chose to dry their tears and look up again and begin building. So they didnt get a pass on fiscal scrutiny.

WebWe the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Thats how we look at this, and if youre an economic conservative, as I am, when you look at these issues you canand we dolook at it in that context of what is the need and the requirement for defense as insurance, how it links to growth itself and the prosperity of the American economy in terms of the protections that are needed, what capabilities do you have to have both now and well into the future, how do you design that most efficiently. Let me do this from a former mayors point of view. The Senates Fiscal Year 2021 NDAA does this by strengthening American deterrence through investing in greater capabilities in support of priorities listed in the National Defense Strategy, and ensuring Americas service members are ready so, when challenged, they prevail in any conflict. To do this, I think we have to recognize that there are two components to every security threat, every terrorist threat we face, and thats intent and capacity: First, what is the intent of the enemy we face, and second, what is the enemys capacity to materialize that intent? Now lets get the discussion going until the Congressman arrives. All of the social data suggest that when the head of household is intact and families are together through marriage, the families work more effectively than the government in providing for the human capital future of America. If Iran gains nuclear capability, they will give it to terrorists the world over, and the entire human family will step into the shadow of nuclear terrorism. At a time of increasing risks and dangerous global security challenges, America must lead in creating stability through a strong and modernized military. But when we think of insurance, we have to think of insurance first of all in that way. It clearly communicates the intentions of the framers and the purpose of the document. The head of the household used to be the driver and the provider of the care for the family. They didnt have any capacity to hurt anybody, but they had this hellish ideology that they had a superior race and were willing to vanquish all others to try to gain its ascendancy. They certainly are skeptical about the use of American power. The family was responsible for the care of the elderly; we did that intergenerationally. WebExamples of Insure Domestic Tranquility Example I The US Constitution specifies that racial segregation is against the law, which was further supported by the Supreme Court. We dont have that today, and heads of households are replaced by the government. Provide for the common defense The Framers were acutely aware that the new nation remained extremely vulnerable to attacks by foreign nations and that no individual state had the power to repel such attacks. The main reason we find ourselves in this hole is because of unwarranted and very possibly unconstitutional spending on social programs that do not work.

It shows the importance of coming together in support of the United States military even when the spirit of bipartisanship and compromise is elusive in many other areas. Its not an either/or; its not that you can have high growth and low security; they must go together. So we are very focused on how to get the personnel compensation mix right. Its not sentiment; its just the logic of the way nationsparticularly those kinds of nationsoperate. Not only does the bill provide a three percent pay raise for our troops and re-emphasize a focus on training to ensure service members can conduct missions safely, it also serves the interests of our military families and supports Arkansas's national defense personnel, installations and industry.

In The Gathering Storm, the first volume in his six-volume history of World War II, he said: If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. How much is enough? There are people who, if you look at the polls, think we spend more on defense than we actually do. For a long time, we were not very vulnerable to EMP because some of our circuits and some of our relays were very robust. I know countless individuals who have lost their health and their wealth because they did not have health insurance. Article I of the constitution establish how the government of the US can provide that defense in the second half of section 8: You think about it as protection in the way that we think of other forms of insurance, and when economists look at insurance, there are some very important things to understand about levels of insurance and why insurance is important. Authors: I hope youll look at the SHIELD Act. Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld said weakness is provocative.

If you look at the retirement of the baby boomer generation and its replacement by a generation that is inadequate in size and human capital, you begin to see that we have an intergenerational challenge. Secondly, when you think about insurance, percentage risk of things going wrong is not the way to evaluate the needs for either umbrella insurance or defense. We know that is critical. Others have turned the phrase provide for the common defense into a similar justification for federal overreach. I say all this because I think, when you look at how particularly economic conservatives look at defense and the environment of the debate, theres enormous pressure, even among those who have no argument about the need for defense, to say its easier if we just squeeze that area: We can afford to do it, we can do it without risk, and so on. To pull several things together here and try to make it sound compelling, the challenge before the free world today is to render terrorism a universally hated evil and a completely ineffective means of achieving political goals. There is a tendency to see that providing for the common defence, as the phrase is used in the Constitution, is no different from any other responsibility of the federal government, since it is basically a budget item for the Pentagon. Constitution 101: To Provide for the Common Defense. Therefore, I buy umbrella insurance because of the nature of the risk and the downside effect. The issue is not the percentage probability of something happening, but the downside risk if it does happen. 23 argued for a central government with the full power to levy troops; to build and equip fleets; . Serious conservative economists looking at defense see it in that context as well. Stuart is absolutely right. This is an invitation for them to exploit a weakness, and all throughout history, when an enemy was determined to hurt a country, they always exploited that weakness. 668, Secure High-voltage Infrastructure for Electricity from Lethal Damage Act, 112th Cong., 1st Sess., February 11, 2011, http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112hr668ih/pdf/BILLS-112hr668ih.pdf (accessed July 12, 2012).
