>> Military Industrial Complex costs us over $1Trillion a year. Basically everything affiliated with the VA, plus Homeland Security and interest on wars the biggest components not factored into DOD.

Obamacare will, within a decade or two, be costing more than that.

Military, though bloated, is a legitimate function of federal government. Obamacare, SS, Medicare, Dept of Education, welfare state, nope.

DOD spending is $600 billion a year now which is $400 billion less than a $1 trillion. I know math and facts are difficult subjects for libtards, but it matters to the rest of us.
