I don't know why you'd be downvoted. 60 percent of the national budget goes to military.

  that's not even close to correct, the USA does spend a lot on military but it does not do your argument any good to make up numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget

  No, it doesn't. Slightly less than half of the discretionary portion of the budget goes to defense programs. The discretionary portion is only about 33% of the total budget, meaning defense programs take about 16% of the total budget. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget#/media/File:2018_Federal_Budget_Infographic.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_budget#/...
