If military is cut then the money should be diverted to industries of the future that will have a far larger export market than those the West decide to sell to.

Just cutting will cause job losses and waiting for private enterprise to pick up the slack, is the line conmen use to convince the clueless, step up Private King.

Putting some of the $663.84 billion into industries that produce something every country in the world and every one in the world can buy, brings far more jobs and wealth. See Germany and Japan as the examples, yes it's tough now. Less tough on some though.
