@stux And yet when the federal budget comes up there's no shortage of cheerleaders in our mainstream media screaming that we can't cut the defense budget and arguing that we should cut everything for common people.

They definitely show their colors on the spending side of things. And when you consider that especially at the federal level here, money just isn't even real - it's just pixels on a screen. We could do anything we wanted for the people - we just don't want to.
(Oh, and let me tell you, when you work for a company that makes accounting software and say, "money isn't real" - that will really weird some people out, LOL.)

@stux Yes, endless wars like the one we are in now. And here we are again, getting involved in another one that we have no business in getting involved in.

And this is only the tip of the iceburg. If we stopped using an inherently scarce medium like money to count for things, we could afford to let everyone have a high standard of living, in a way that was both sustainable and environmentally friendly. But that would mean no ridiculously rich people so...(edit: typo)

@stux even before thinking about how much the US spends on actual weapons and military stuff, it's important to realize how much is simply *wasted* because it's getting skimmed off the top by contractors, inefficiency, or just straight up fraud.
One of the consequences of having a functionally infinite funding stream for a department is that nobody involved thinks of money as a scarce resource, and so they walk the department into fuckass rip-offs.
Recently read a pretty good Cory Doctorow post talking about this.

@stux Look here, if we did not throw billions in weaponry at the "bad people" they would eventually come over and take away the healthcare we have. You don't want that, do you? Once we have stopped the "bad people" we will give everybody everything. I solemnly swear.

As much this numbers may be sadly true, be careful with the linked site. Looks like some Pro-Russian Propaganda Outlet to me.
