Among other controversial beliefs that the potential Presidential candidate has, one of his most debated statements is his plan to cut off air conditioning for troops at war. The reasoning? As a means to bring them home. According to Paul, our country is spending $20 billion a year in air conditioning bills to keep the tents in Iraq and Afghanistan cool. His belief is that if you cut air conditioning, the troops would get out of the middle East--something Paul strongly wants. The $20 billion cut would then be redistributed: $10 billion to our national debt and another $10 billion to FEMA, child healthcare or another cause benefiting the American public.
Here in Miami, it's hot. Over in the middle East, it gets to be scorching as well. So, what do you think? Is cutting the a/c too extreme? Aren't there other steps necessary to ensure troops are removed safely? Share your thoughts!
