While these threats are real and must be taken seriously, America can no longer afford to go it alone. We spend billions overseas every year and put thousands of young American men and women in harm’s way. And we pay for it by taking out new loans — mostly from foreign countries lik...

The complaint is that the culture at MDC will never change. It can change, and the reason that I say this is that I saw it happen myself at another...
