I'm not sure if a new particle collider is a good use of that money. But imagine you could put it towards science, innovation (like incentives for starting and running startups or businesses), and social programs (like healthcare, education). Where would the US be after twenty years of that instead of spending it on military? People think this idea is crazy, but if I were in charge, I'd keep a small but efficient force that can be scaled up and down quickly for dealing with Iraq or Iran scale enemies, and rely solely on nuclear weapons for defending against hostile superpowers - which is how any superpower conflict is likely to end anyway. Yeah, you can't play the imperialism game like that, but it doesn't seem worth the cost anyway.
