Alexander Edwards
yes. the only purpose of government is to protect its citizens.
Better question for nigger OP. Does it make sense for the United States to spend any less than 100% on the military?
Andrew Brooks
Yes
Lincoln Taylor
>protects its citizens
>meanwhile citizens die of cureable illness, malnutrition, poison in unregulated food/water, accidents bc crumbling infrastructure
>veterans literally homeless because unfit for work and no aid, despite having risked their lives to "protect the citizens"

Why are you such a bigot? You realize that money is for the hormone treatments and reassignment surgery.

> DISCRETIONARY
Welfare programs and debt interest are not considered discretionary. This is about 35% of the total budget.
Nathan Harris
>no wall money
It's for jobs or our unemployment rate would be 20%. Guaranteed straight out of high school job security.
Charles Peterson
We could make due with 40%.
Caleb Clark

Caleb Torres
Working in the fields or busing tables. Good thinking, user!

The US is a vassal state and not the hegemon.
Jayden Brooks
r8 my budget
Isaac James
It isn't 54% of its budget. It's 54% of its discretionary budget, which is less than a sixth of its total annual spending.
Alexander Lewis
>has to police half the fucking planet
>gets ridiculed for spending so much money
I never really understood why Americans still do it.
Isaiah Green
In the oven
Wyatt Morgan
Descretionary spending and budget are two different things. Defense is less than a quarter of the federal budget. The US spends more on old people by a huge margin.
Hudson Roberts
15%, actually
Joshua Cooper
Israel isn't going to protect itself, goy
Thomas Brooks
Hell yeah
Josiah Rogers
What you post is false and even if they spent 100% on the military it would be justified.
This. sage.

>USA spends about three grand per person on medicare and medicaid alone
Wew, what a train wreck. The rest of the world manages to run universal healthcare systems on that kind of money. What's your excuse for this mind-boggling inefficiency, Americans?
