@htaukkyanmyo4437 It's a complicated problem that money alone WILL NOT solve. Vast majority are substance abusers, you could give them all homes for free and those properties will be effectively destroyed within a yr. But we need to cut ALL SPENDING or we're in deep trouble. Military spending is extremely inefficient (what government spending isn't), we could get a lot more for our buck.

Yes they would. The US is not the biggest threat to most nations today.

@Nonamelol. Dunno about those numbers but point taken, I'll take your word for it tentatively. Plenty of room for improvement including procurement procedures designed to incur endless cost overruns. We pay some 10X more for a fighter plane than China and Russia I'm told. Possible that is justified as a mere 20% advantage could make all the difference in a fight and there is always far greater cost to get those last few percent. But our system is designed for overspending. Bottom line is we won't be able to afford anything if we allow continued financial irresponsibility out of DC.
