I need someone to explain to me why we can afford a $740,000,000,000 military budget, but we can not afford to pay people to stay home to contain Covid. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Okay. “Andrea, you know when sometimes that little boy in kindergarten takes all the toys for himself and doesn’t let anybody else play with them? He shouldn’t do that, honey, and you don’t want to ever ever ever be that way OK?”

No, the military industrial defense contractors & not the military itself. Our defense budget is hundreds of billions of dollars above what the military says they need.

There are ppl that will kill US citizens and use bio weapons if they could. I know you super leftist think we really don't have enemies, false. We almost get attack often you don't hear about it. Defense cost money, soldiers/sailors need training that cost money too.

I never said we don’t have real enemies. But if anyone thinks all those billions are going to train and help soldiers then they’re delusional.

More like this the part where the little girl finds out that her father is the mob boss. Same reason they have such a large nuclear contingent. You're asking why the US needs the guns instead of seeing that they're holding the world at gunpoint. Daddy has to keep the status quo.

In this metaphor the US is the boy taking everyone else's toys right?
