RE: Live Truth Productions Presents "US Spends More on Military Defense Than the Next 7 Countries COMBINED"

I don't care about Oman, but I thought that you cared about military spending, which is why I brought Oman up.

I do agree with you that the values are skewed. If I look at the full budget (this article is a couple of years old, but still close), I don't see how much we pay on the military as an issue, but more in how little we pay for education:

Sort:  

Money isn't going to education because it's going to the military.
Money isn't going to eradicate homelessness because it's going to the military.
Money isn't going to building community gardens because it's going to the military.
Money isn't going to senior citizens because it's going to the military.
Money isn't going to building sustainable housing because it's going to the military.
...and on and on.
