It has nothing to do with percentages or dollar amounts.

So we aren't spending to high of a percentage or even too many dollars but we are spending way too much???

Its has to do with this country's obsession with weaponry and with military aggression.

Obsession with military agression?? I don't think that statement accurately reflects reality.

Do you know how many new homes that $$$ would buy for the poor?

You could ask the same question about the other 2 trillion dollars the feds spend.

but thats a change at the margin not a major reduction, certainly not something that would greatly increase the % of our national income that we spend on the combination of social programs and infrastructure.

That's because you have a militant's mindset

If we cut out military budget by a third it wouldn't greatly increase the % of our national income spent on social programs.

We are the most militaristic nation on the planet

Nonsense.
