Stop Paying for Defense, for one thing.

You’ve got to have backbone in politics.
The parliamentary leader of Germany’s Social Democratic Party (SPD) rejected NATO’s 2 percent of GDP defense spending target and called for strategic investment in the German armed forces in an interview published Thursday.
“We think this is the wrong way, and with the SPD in the government there will be no such thing.”
