Yes, I saw you travelled to the island of the absurd when you started making that comment earlier. I ignored it the several times you posted it as I thought you would tire of it.

Why pay $600 billion per year for the world's best military if the U.S. can't use it ? $600 billion a year in military spending...that's gotta be America's most precious bodily fluid right there.

No, we spend a lot more on social programs and health care. But $600 billion is a great start....somebody has to tow Canada's ships back to port, right ?

Yes, $610 billion is a lot of dough. While they are rightfully accounted for in other categories, both Veterans benefits and interest on the debt are directly linked to the size of military as well. I would say the real spending is more like 610 + 160 + 25% of 230 = $830 billion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

?Impact Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 3 minutes ago, eyeball said: No you don't actually. You are only looking at discretionary spending. Look at the total budget and you will see that Social Security & Unemployment is the largest ($1.3 trillion), followed by medical & health at $1 trillion.

Money is money...federal, state, or local. Far more is spent on social, health, and education than military. Don't worry, President Trump will still tow old ass, broken down Canadian ships safely back to port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My numbers are based on federal spending only. The annual appropriations process that Congress goes through is the discretionary spending in your chart. The mandatory spending is not so much a budget process, but Congress deciding on things like eligibility for social security, etc. It is over twice the size of discretionary spending. On top of that are interest payments on debt, which at a mere $230 billion is only 6% of all spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apoplectic is far from what IT keeps thinking people. Laughing in the aisles is much closer to reality. I'm sure the people at the Pentagon will keep his fingers far from the codes, so I wouldn't worry too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
