"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom." --Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the meantime, it should be noted, the United States spends at least 663 billion dollars per year on "defense", far, far more than any other country in the world. In fact, we spend at least approximately 8 times what the nearest, second-runner up spends on defense.
It is insanity and it is not sustainable.
