does the US defense budget make sense to you?
we spent over $700 billion in 2011 on defense/wars/so on. China, the big red country we're supposed to fear, spent about $150 billion. they have around four times our population, who, yes, probably don't live as well as most of us. but seriously, $700 billion? to fight for other countries' freedom, democracy, whatever bullshit they feed us? does it make sense to be spending so much on foreign wars when we have so many problems at home? WHY are we spending such a large amount of money overseas?
