the defense budget is like, 800+bn a year, and half of it goes to wasteful spending on defense contractors, and then theres the billions we give to certain countries like israel. someone on reddit mentioned it takes 200bn of that budget to solve the healthcare problems in america, or at elast some of the cost. tricare for military is fully universal, they know they can do it, but the GOP is against it because they need a wedge issue to remain in power.
