@jam11x True. Military still needs money, but not as many billions as we get. It would help if we stopped trying to fight the war on drugs in other countries. We would save literally hundreds of billions of dollars. It would also help if we did not use a broke outdated business model for funding each squadron. Waste happens because people worry about getting enough when we need it. If you don't spend a whole year's funds you get less next year with no promises about need in an emergency.

@joyride199 It's pronounced with a Dutch g, which doesn't have a place in English. Much like you're choking in something, but more in the front of your throat than in the back.

@jam11x Yeah! - Like Bombs and shit!

If you were to cut the military in it's entirety, you would still have about a Trillion in deficits for that year. And, because the country sits on some of the largest deposits of the majority of the resources that are in demand in the modern world, it would be silly to let our guard down to being colonies again.

@jam11x That would require a vote for Ron Paul...and we still would not have money to cover anything but the essentials. Read the budget. We are in fact broke.

@Twicebakedtaters 75-15 = 60, not 50. And you thought Tuya was incapable of very simple math.

Or the US could stop wasting so much money on the military. There's your money for science to do things.

Ha, so the US was only interested in the particle physics as far as it could create stuff to blow other countries up. Not the whole creation stuff, nah, none of that. :/
