.the truth is the US spends outside the budget as well

Less as a percentage than a number of other countries, and that's esp. true if you consider the non-currency resources that are spent on their militaries.

we can't afford to spend so much on defense

Defense spending has been becoming more and more affordable, as its over time become a smaller and smaller portion of our economy and of our federal budget. What we can't afford is all the entitlement spending projected for the future.
