Furthermore, the federal government spends fully 14 times less on education than we do on defense,

I find this not hard, but impossible to believe. Lets see the numbers.

and millions of American families do, in fact, live off the minimum wage.

A local man in the Raleigh area put out a challenge several years ago. He owned his own business and his challenge was this. If any person could come forward and show that they were a family of four and living on minimum wage he would give them a job with a salary of $65,000 a year.

No one has come forward to claim the job.

Strangely enough...The Federal Government is permitted by the Constitution to spend money on defense...
