Sorry about that, I meant to write "discretionary" in there. Regardless, the point of spending less on the military still stands.

We can't change mandatory spending or we have millions of elderly people dying because social security vanishes into thin air.

Well, I paid into SS and Medicare for fifty years, and I’m getting less out than I put in. But, still glad to have them.

Some people call it a Ponzi scheme, but it’s a pool, as designed.

The military is a big jobs program and all the industrial support generates a lot of economic activity. Better if they just dropped it in the ocean, though. Too much temptation to test it.
