[quote=spdrun]Imagine if we cut 50% of the funding to the military and its associated parasites and spent the public money saved on providing health care to all Americans… Plenty of wasted public money in the violence industry. I’d rather my tax money be spent prolonging lives (even those of > 80 year olds) than murdering brown people abroad and abusing people in this country in the name of some “war on drugs.”

But spending money on public health instead of military would not produce radar, GPS, Internet, space program… and the cuts would likely come from research, not pork.
