Sheer fucking folly.
If it wasn't so paranoid, the US could probably have the best free healthcare system in the world & *still* spend the most on defence.
(right on, dd. Should we be waving our flags in sheer pride here? to make up for the disasters and what we're doing for poverty and the environment?)

i hesitated to click on this ballot cause i already know the facts if not the figures.
i forget his name but the ben and jerry ice cream guy has a web site illustrating the amount the u.s. spends on military versus all other programs.
this is what eisenhower warned of--the burgeoning of the military industrial complex.
protection run for profit.
This is like the hundredth time this was listed as a ballot! :p hehe

Why are so many people happy to let our health and education go to Hell while rich old men get richer rebuilding guns every year? Only stupid suckers get led into that mess. We can already have the world if we want, everyone knows that, how much more powerful can we get before we can waste money on EDUCATION?

Nope. Those numbers (for the US) seem a little low. Defense spending could, in my view take 20-30% of GNP and not bother me.
^ Ah yes, that'll be because you're an Internet prick with no brains whatsoever.
dingledung is a politcal correct pussy
I have to ask a really dumb question -- are the numbers given in the description adjusted to reflect US dollar amounts? They probably are, but I figured I'd ask just to make sure.
ya i think the money should be used elsewhere but who cares what we think. If the government listened to the american citizens opinion we wouldnt be so messed up.
who ever done this poll needs to look at the facts again britain spends $62 million on its military .. second after the usa
