Obviously we always have to spend money on defense. But obviously we also spend more, when we go to war. And, a government can spend even more, when it manages to convince its people that they are in danger (that theyre not). So as opposed to spending money to find new ways to destroy other countries, how about something crazy like put money into our piece of shit education system. Or helping under priviledged people. All i know is, theres over 20,000 homeless people in San Diego alone....u could feed all of them for 10 yrs with the amount of money it costs to make one fighter jet.

japan barely has a military and if you ever go to tokyo you will see makeshift lean-to's through out thier parks filled with the homeless. so you're going to tell me that it's japan's fault that these people can't find housing, jobs and food? there's only so much a government can do for it's people

Because in U.S. it's obviously a bigger issue, and they have the money to do what they want about it, but doesn't.
Claiming to be the greatest country, best military, etc. doesn't mean much when everybody knows that basic welfare/health issues is more important than fighting wars everywhere.

Yes. Our Poor have microwave ovens, cars, houses over their heads and the opportunity to become rich. We also don't pay 50% of our income to taxes for programs that we don't use.
Once again, this is the ONLY country in the world where the pursuit of happiness is GUARANTEED in writing to every citizen.
Z the laidback Virus:
It might be guaranteed but I doubt those many thousands of homeless people are full of happiness and that might at least partly be due to the system.
