And yet politicians complain that we can’t afford healthcare for everyone. It’s pathetic.


Funny thing about that - the US already spends 150-200% of the military budget on Medicare and Medicaid. So eliminating the military would be nowhere near enough to expand that to the rest of the country...

(The US spends about $2000/yr/person on the military, and $8500/yr/person on entitlements)
