While this is intended to be funny, it is really not because there is more than just a little truth to it. The MIC is more important to Amurica than anything else.

I have to disagree here, because the US can easily afford everything listed here in addition to the fighter jet. The fighter jet isn't responsible for a lack of spending in all these programs, it's the Republican Party, which doesn't want to see one cent of tax money go toward helping a poor person
While i am not for the MIC,Ii also disagree that the US can easily afford it. The government has been running an ever increasing deficit because they can’t afford it.
Well, if investment into your defense does not sound right to you, try selling the front doors of your apartments and purchasing something useful for your home instead.
LMFAO imagine thinking that a country that's been at war for 222 out of 239 years accounting for 93% of its existence is investing in its defence. 🤡
The only thing I see wrong is the job opportunity cuts, the US military is the largest make work program since the new deal and the WPA.
