yes. because the country that spends more on the military than the next 7 countries combined needs more military spending.
but how dare anyone say we can afford universal healthcare.

I'm more interested to see the crowd on here that whines about government spending ignoring this while sucking Trump's dick.

if we're spending to make sure poor people can eat that's terrible.2001400ex said:I'm more interested to see the crowd on here that whines about government spending ignoring this while sucking Trump's dick.
but if our money is going towards bombing brown people that's okay -
Do you even pay attention. Of course I cared about the deficit under Obama. He did a shitty job the last few years getting it under control in setting the budget. And Republicans, who controlled Congress, did nothing about the deficit either.RaceBannon said:

More weapons, cops, arrests, privatized prisons, death. Less help for the poor people in this country that need: jobs, healthcare, education.
Bigger military and DHS (CBP) should mean more jerbs, but I don't think there's enough qualified candidates.
Need some serious infrastructure maintenance up in this bitch. ROADS! BRIDGES! MAKE AMERICA'S FREEWAYS GREAT AGAIN!!!!!1!!!!1!!!!!!!1!
He's gonna cut foreign aid too. I'm ok with cuts there, but should be plowed back into social services. Help AMERICANS first.
The tax cuts? Where? Whom? Likely it's tax cuts for the rich and corps. Yay! More trickle down economics.

Trump also said on Monday he would talk about his plans for infrastructure spending in a speech to Congress on Tuesday. "We're going to start spending on infrastructure big," he said
This is from reuters.
where is this money coming from? -

Tax Cuts, increases in military, infrastructure, no cuts to entitlements. I'm not one to fear monger about debt but we may actually go belly up if that agenda goes through -

While yes spending more on the military without cuts or raising taxes would increase the deficit and that might not be a smart idea, I always hate when people use total dollars spent for their comparison instead of GDP. This isn't to say we don't spend a lot, but with respect to the GDP we don't spend that much. Entitlements are about 14% of the GDP while defense is 3.5%.dhdawg said:http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/02/27/trump-seeking-54b-increase-in-defense-spending-cuts-elsewhere.html

Do we need to spend that much every year? No. We do however need to get the F-22 and F-35 projects finished. The F-15/16/18 platforms are Cold War era fighters. The A-10 is post-Vietnam.
We are unbeatable because of our air superiority. A lot of that has to do with the weapons systems, but the aircraft matters a great deal as well. A single F-22 can take out an average of seven F-15's in a dog fight scenario.
The F-22 program was scrapped after about 1/3rd of the original order was built and about 1/10th of the F-35's from the original order number have been built. -

That may be the case. But using raw totals makes it seems like the US spends a disproportionate percent of its economy on the military compared to other countries, which is not entirely accurate. A large percentage of the budget is basically spent on maintaining the armed forces. 25% of the budget is spent on personnel and 42% is spent on maintenance and operations.dhdawg said:

Now maybe we don't need as big of a military but I wonder if that would not create an opportunity for other nations to act more aggressively. And while it is true that you don't really need an F-22 to bomb ISIS, having quality conventional equipment might be important to deterring future nation state aggressors who have quality Russian and Chinese equipment. -

It sure is going to be generating a lot of healthcare, retirement plan funded jobs.
