What is the percentage of our military spending, including VA compared with SS, Medicare and Medicaid?

[Milton Miteybad]

The 2015 budget proposed by Barry the Boob calls for Medicare, Health and Social Security outlays of nearly $1.9 trillion, all of which is considered "mandatory" spending. Compare that figure to his proposed military budget, a mere $640 billion, labeled as "discretionary" spending.

In other words, the military budget is absolutely dwarfed by the gargantuan levels of "social spending," which has been the case for any number of years now.
