Sure it's not cheap, but the US budget is so screwed up. If we cut back on the military spending, there would be more than enough to allocate to several vital branches of government. I mean military spending is almost as much as they spend on healthcare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a reason that the military budget is so high. What is one of the reason this whole NFL take a knee thing is upsetting people? Disrespecting the military. Anyone saying there should be big cuts is seen as disrespecting the military which is something you do not do in this country. It sparks a fire in people that they will gladly argue and get in your face about. We also have several future, enlisted, and veterans here in sG. I do agree with you and not saying to shut the hell up. This is the internet so whatever! What I said was more a warning for if you bring up topics like that in public. You could seriously start a fight. I have seen a friend being sitting calmly and just go full throttle and deck someone out of nowhere cause he overheard the dude say something bad about the military. So be warned you might get punched in the face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lvl. 100 Latias 711 Posted September 27, 2017 My question is what the fuck is all that discretionary spending and why are we not using bits of that to pay off our debts so we can get that juicy 6% back and give it to NASA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Military has always been one of the biggest priorities in the United States, that is how we are one of the three super powers. Russia, China, USA, all three of us have HUGE military budgets and manpower. So the question would be, can we still maintain being a super power if we cut our military budget? I'm not sure to the answer to that, but its an important question to ask. 1 hour ago, Travesty said: We shouldn't pay taxes. Everyone for themselves!

Being patriotic or not has nothing to do with it. lol I just don't have any sympathy towards anyone, BIG difference. Should I give a fuck? Debatable. Do I have to give a fuck? No. I don't have to care about the homeless, the poor, or others who don't have access to healthcare or anything else in our country due to whatever reason. Obviously it's an unpopular opinion, not everyone in America is as selfish and greedy as me. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
