“The budget” and “spending” are not the same things in the federal government.

Point still stands. It would be responsible to cut at least $300B.

It never stood - what facts and reasons have you provided to support it?

For one thing we spend more than the next 9 countries combined. That’s a huge lost opportunity cost.

Dollars spent on “defense” are dollars we could spend on healthcare, education, infrastructure, housing, the arts and more.

Give me reasons we should spend nearly $1T on our military.
