    Btw the lack of American affordable healthcare is by design, not due to budgetary constraints. The US military budget is actually not completely unreasonable in comparison to GDP, being 3% and including social security for veterans.

    In comparison Russia is now spending 6-7% of GDP on the military, possibly more since the Russian economy is shrinking. China is around 2%, and the world average is around 2% still. The US has a massive economy, so their 3% dwarfs all other countries.

    As for healthcare, the US government is already spending twice as much per person as other western countries. If the US government wanted affordable healthcare, they could make it happen yesterday, all while reducing healthcare expenditure. The problem is just a political one, not an economic one.
