USMB rules. Read them. Christ you’re a stupid person.Who said that? I merely use them literally. I disagree. I also use them for place markers to help with the flow of the thread.And. You’re not supposed to give more than six thumbs down per user per day. You don’t follow rules. You were raised poorly and you deflect. You’re an awful person.Endless wars are not right wing theories in practice with Your hard earned tax monies?You’re talking in theories. What should we spend on the military? Give me a number.You only have right wing propaganda. We are not supposed to be wasting Your hard earned tax monies on a standing army at all. What part of, there is no general warfare clause or common offense clause do you not understand? And, military spending for innovation is worse than spending on Solyndra. I am not deflecting. We have a welfare clause in general and a commerce clause in particular and even a central bank. I advocate for merely using Capitalism for All of its capital worth in modern economic times. We should not be losing money for the people but making money for the people.Bullshit. How many jobs in the private sector depend on military spends? 100s of thousands. Also helps with innovation and such and you’re still deflecting. You were not raised well. I have Directly answered your questions. Shame on you.You merely appeal to ignorance of the law and economics. There is no general warfare clause nor any common offense clause. And, military spending does not produce as much of a multiplier effect as more free market capitalism does in general. Why do right wingers only have socialism on a national basis solutions that only have the effect of wasting Your hard earned tax money instead of the fine and wonderful, free market Capitalism solutions they allege to be for in socialism threads?Again, how much of my hard earned money is someone else aka you entitled to? Spending on the military at least helps the private sector and helps defend the country. Giving money to illegals does nothing.
What is necessary and proper for the common defense? We have no general warfare clause nor any common offense clause. I can't give you real numbers only imaginary numbers without going over our entire "defense" establishment.
Here is one number I can give you:
- Since 1971, the war on drugs has cost the United States an estimated $1 trillion. In 2015, the federal government spent an estimated $9.2 million every day to incarcerate people charged with drug-related offenses—that’s more than $3.3 billion annually.19--https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/criminal-justice/reports/2018/06/27/452819/ending-war-drugs-numbers/#:~:text=Economic%20impact,more%20than%20%243.3%20billion%20annually.
