Say this.

Yes, our military budget is about 400 billion dollars. Add another 300 billion of interest on the military-caused national debt.

The military chiefs are out of control. They keep asking for major increases (1.5 billion for the Marines, $20 billion for the navy, $30 billion for the army...) while we spend more than 22 times more than our seven potential enemies - Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria) combined.
