You know what the trade off of a bloated defense budget is? Way less money goes to our crumbing infrastructure system and safety net programs like job training for the poor. As a result, we have the worst child poverty rate in the developed world. I guess that's all okay because of our ridiculous and over compensating military force.IRONY ALERT!God I am so sick of this false sense of arrogance and superiority that Americans have about the rest of the world.
His point, numb nuts, is that our vast military spending is why Europe is able to afford the largesse of their welfare states. If we stopped protecting them to the extent we do they wouldn't be able to afford all of their free shit
