Those recommendations are being ignored it seems.
We have 2000 reserve warheads. We need to go beyond the Triad and go for distributed nuclear deterrence. By giving nuclear capability to JASSM-D, PrSM and Dark Eagle we would greatly improve our nuclear deterrence. JASSM at least should be able to accomodate a number of warheads. Think tanks need to put urgent proposals on the table what to do.
Re our large deficit, Medicare right now is a trillion a year, but only generates 400 billion in Medicare taxes. By allowing passive income to be taxed at the Medicare rate of 2.9% we could improve the Medicare balance sheet and free up money for defense. Alternatively increasing the Medicare tax to 12% will fix it
