Which part of "we spend more on defense than the rest of the world COMBINED" did you not understand???

The defense budget dwarfs everything else in our discretionary budget by a factor of 10x... for no freaking good reason...even if you half it we will still be spending more money on defense than any other country in the world. China, India and the European Union all have much more population than the U.S. yet we dwarf everyone in defense spending. And halfing the defense budget will solve every problem America has with its deficit.
