@Heeimweired Military Spending is like most government spending it is full of waste. Major cuts can be made without people loosing their jobs. It costs considerably more to have troops stationed overseas than it does to have them at home, yet their pay is the same. Not to mention the influx of revenue back into the local economies, which will then create more jobs at home.

@Heeimweired creating jobs that don't help us as a nation isn't the solution. We lack jobs because corporations are downsizing. They mistreat their small workforce and make them do extra work, then don't pay them any more. That's the problem and that's where the focus should be.

@TheReaverOfDarkness Yeah but how many people would then be out of a job. Lots. And tbh America is pretty screwed for jobs as it is.

I got a solution. Lets cut the overall size of our military by 50%. That'll put us at...lets see.....ah we'll still be the #1 military force in the world. And how much will the budget deficit be reduced? Lets see....hmm oh it's gone...

Dude great video, but watch out, you just defaced national currency by cutting the penny lol.

@tgshark1 Yet the Annual Budget must include interest payments on debt incurred in the past, so there is a measurable amount of current annual budget that is due to the wars. What I want to see is the impact of the bush Tax Cuts, both in the reduction of revenue and in the interest incurred when the Treasury had to borrow heavily to pay out all those $300 checks.

@LeVarBurger this was a yearly budget, not the national debt, two different things bud...you really do not understand deficit do you?
