An important consideration is the effects of military spending on our economy. Most if not all technology has resulted from military spending.

This is about throwing money at the poor instead of investing in programs that will lead to advances in technology/jobs/the middle-class.

Agreed. Not military per se that derive the technology, but in military-funded projects by contractors, I think.

Correction: this is not for the “poor”. It is for “VOTES”.

A democracy that chooses not to defend itself and to subsidize indolence by allowing citizens to vote themselves tax money, paid on the backs of the productive class, is a country that cannot survive.
