Im a democratic socislist. Socialism to me is a system that looks out for the best interests of everyone. Basic needs of society (citizens) come first. Food shelter education child care utilities and clothing. If everyones' needs were met, war\defense wouldnt be necessary. War funding (and interest on past military funding) is the largest part of the U.S. federal budget after social security (retirees). Therefore socialism would cut the military and use the savings on infrastructure and meeting the needs of citizens. Based on polling the most needed improvements could be evaluated maybe yearly. Instead politics and war funding.
Military + interest (22+6%=28%), and social security (17%) . That means 45% of the federal budget is accounted for by those two.
