Before policies take place huh? Well truth be told, a lot of policies of the Obama admin have either been postponed or stoped. So many of the things that could of happened have been obstructed by a House/Senate which has been as bad (if not worse) than the 'Do nothing Congress' back in the day.
To help actualy lower the debt, we need to stop all the banks gambling with money, re-institute the trade tariffs, Raise the top earners tax rate back up, and get the head bank exects off the Federal Reserve board.(They are literaly aproving their own money for more fraud!)
As for the point you raise about armies:
The arming and training of other countries comes down to the lobbying via the military industrial sector. They have an easy nine hundred thousand dollars in lobbying. Perhaps even millions. Them helping arm those people is good for business. And that is one example of why the Govt should not be run like a business. Because a business's prime objective is profit.
