I don't see how the military budget is relevant to the complaint. If it is in fact worth it to spend 0.7 trillion on the military every year, that does not mean the government should be wasting money on other projects because they are relatively smaller. If it is not worth it, on the other hand, that does not justify wasting other money either. Projects should stand on their own merit and the money used to fund them should be treated very respectfully because it is taken from individuals who may not have wanted to give it up.
