Why do we spend more on the military than the next 11 nations combined? I have a better idea: Cut Pentagon spending by 10% and invest it in the fight to end homelessness, hunger and poverty in the richest country on Earth. nitter.vloup.ch/i/broadcasts/1DX…

I think it's important to not simply refer to a percentage, but specific armaments, bases, and programs. The United States military is spread thinly across the globe in a way unlike any other country. I think people would be supportive of this given the specifics of our waste.
