You mean they have all the military commitments We have?
Military isn't why we don't have a national healthcare system, but I'm all about ending some of our planetary military expenditure.
So you think we can somehow scrape together 35 Trillion in ten years without stealing money from the military? We bring in approximately 3.2 Trillion in taxes each year. So going off that we would need every penny in taxes and still be using the national credit card just to afford national healthcare. That means no money for anything or anyone. So welfare and it’s programs go. Military and infrastructure goes. No government employees, even congress and executive goes. We would not even be able to pay interest on existing debt.
if the country stops paying out federal monies to the states, state taxes WILL go up. Some states are already taxes the average worker to death. If we shut down one foreign military base we have that many people and spouses on unemployment. The country that hosted that base looses the income off that base.
But yeah the military is not the only reason we don’t have bad national healthcare.
