If America can't afford to educate our children, rebuild our infrastructure or provide healthcare, what are we defending with the new military budget?

It is not the job of the government to educate our children, they waste billions of dollars each year catering to corrupt unions and promoting vile leftist indoctrination. Nor is it the job for the government to provide you with health care. The private sector could do it for ten percent of the money the government robs from the US taxpayers.

The government is there to protect your way of life and the US military is the only way you can be fully protected. Do you exist in a fantasy world, China plays the long game. They have been building up their military for decades and we have been funding it. They have stolen our military secrets and intellectual property thanks to the last four globalist stooge presidents. Without the US military you don't exist, I hope you realize that the US military protects your freedom, not marxist presidents or leftist propagandist media elites.
imperialism and global influence unfortunately

@Insomniac100 sorry to break it to you, but that influence is decreasing quickly as well. The rest of the world doesn't take the USA seriously anymore, aside from a few countries like North Korea and Rusland.

@sunsporter1649 does that mean no more defense?

@UserNameSW Impossible to defend a country without borders, so why bother trying to defend it?
UserNameSW · 46-50, M
@sunsporter1649 would walls be a good border
