Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

$140,212,919,286

Instead, we could have fully funded global anti-hunger efforts for 5 years.

but hey who wants to help people when he can kill people, am I right or what?  >:(

you're talking about seperate budgets...and even countries that don't spend much on a defense budget still have homeless and dumb children

finally government's are made to defend and protect people, not feed them when they're down on luck, or educate them...that's our jobs

maybe the american goverment isn't but the british goverment is there to provide jobs, security, free health care at the point of sale, education and to protect our interests amoung other things
