- prolikewh0a 8y agoThat $1.5 billion goes to saving lives and curing people, the $900 million goes to ending lives illegally. We could funnel that $900 million into Medicare and help a whole lot more people.
- CapricornNoble 8y agoThat's a pretty narrow viewpoint, and the military spending could be spun equally disingeniously: "The $900M goes to vocational training, employment, and cutting-edge equipment for a large slice of physically-fit working age Americans. The $1500M predominantly goes to squeezing an additional 6 months of life expectancy out of retirees and the disabled." So which of those is really adding more value to the nation?
