How can the Americans get out of this ?
Back in late 80s it was 3 trillion
And keeps getting bigger

We could always cut taxes and then start a trade war...
Serious reply though, why the fuck do we need 700+ billion in military spending during peace time?
We can just print more money. Duh!
Trump has added 2 trillion so a little under 10% is his.Trump should not have made that first 20 trillion in debt before he took office
It was the wrong thing to do

And education. No money to make college more affordable but bumping up military spending by 60B doesn't even get a 2nd thought.Somehow it wins more votes than healthcare
I generally agree with the sentiment here but I'll play devil's advocate for a second and say that its to maintain that peace time. You don't want to wait until shit hits the fan to get prepared. Plus the US military provides certain international public goods, chief among them being the protection of shipping lanes across the world with our navy.Serious reply though, why the fuck do we need 700+ billion in military spending during peace time?

Do you think that had anything to due with the great recession the preceded him?Obama doubled the national debt in 8 years.
Twelve States had more people on welfare than working under Obama. Literally destroying families leaving many children (mostly black) fatherless.
Blacks hold themselves down voting democrat.
