This is what I mentioned in another thread. 

Liking this one Dave?

Forget the $200 billion for the Iran fiasco. He's talking about a LOT more than that. And with no tax hikes, that means massive debt or massive cuts to social programs. We already outspend like the 5 next nations combined. And we're spending lots of that money on "past wars", as experts explain. Trump even wants a new battleship (with HIS name on it of course). I thought battleships were BS. 

Military spending makes things that don't add to our collective well being. No roads, no bridges, no dams, no child care. Just stuff to blow up and tools to deliver them. 

Yes, we need a military; but............... Heed the warnings of one of only 5 star generals in US history, DD Eisenhower. He wasn't exactly a snowflake commie.
