Our Bloated Military Budget

The U.S. government already spends $600 billion dollars a year on its military - more money than the next seven biggest spenders combined, including China and Russia.

On Monday, the White House said it would request $54 billion more in military spending for next year. That increase alone is roughly the size of the entire annual military budget of the United Kingdom, the fifth-largest spending country, and it’s more than 80 percent of Russia’s entire military budget in 2015.

Before we give these clowns another penny, we should force them to account for the $6.5 trillion which they stole has disappeared without a trace:

And you wonder why our infrastructure is collapsing?

The irony in this is that in spite of our huge military budget, in a fair fight the Russians probably would kick our asses.
