If all the hidden parts are added together, the true military budget would be close to $1.25 trillion, says William Hartung of the Center for International Policy

500B? a higly dubious claim. Republican or Dem in the WH matters not. The Federal budget is a moving target for the The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to analyze and assess and they have the MBA PhD people facilities and equipment to do it, By law they routinely appear before congress and try to tutor them (mostly law degree grads) on the how, where and when the FY 2020 Military budget is going to or is being spent of the allocated $634.4 Billion DOD budget.. But
Better to invest in America's economy, health and education. Most of these technology will be obsolete in a few years time.
no worries – it's all phony baloney money
Use the nuclear arsenals on Communist 🇨🇳 China.
How about cutting the war budget?
I was him to say "Hey Vsauce"
Government takes 3/4 of your earnings. at that level does it really matter what they do with It? What they should do is leave it in your pocket in the first place. You shouldn't be squabbling over how they spend it. you're a slave. Iterative secession… it's well overdue.
Soundz like a huge Scam..American tax payers …future children and their babies babies babies ..lol..
$ 500 for a nut and bolt ! Washer is extra…
Contractor is part of U.S terrorists organization.
Endless war is not cheap.
Corruption/greed is what made white amerikkka great in the 1st place! AS WE CAN SEE
Paying $8000 for a $500 part is not wasteful, it's grift! But that's peanuts. I've heard of hundreds of millions of US dollars in cash, in crates, flown to Iraq and other war zones to use for subversive group financing and whatever the people in charge had to use money for. This money was completely unaccountable. Lots of sticky fingers…
The US fulfills to exact detail the 5 national woes mentioned by God in the book of Habakkuk in the Bible. it never ends well for nations who love war and spilling BLOOD!!!!
They simply scared Beijing, the challenge is Beijing and Moscow
Even though, is not enough for Iran.
America would rather spend money to murder the world than heal it. Human kind is become insane…
I will not be surprise if US empire collapse.
And can't get a Wall done. Disgusting.
Wait til they add up the cost for the Iran War which is scheduled to be started in October 2019. That will total around $10 Trillion when all is said and done. Surely if we can afford that war, we can afford these other progressive things.
Healthcare pays for itself. Taxes for the plan will replace the premiums and fees people pay to private companies now. This along with actually negotiating drug prices with Pharma will cut the total cost in half. That's how it will be paid for. No need to dig into other budget areas.
I want to vomit every time I see soldiers and the American flag. The transfer of our whole country's wealth toward violence and death abroad while hollowing out the country from within,is a great and horrible tragedy. It seems nothing can turn this around,our fates are sealed,and the fate of all life on earth,stare hopelessly into oblivion.
With $500 billion you cam uproot poverty, homelessness, and medicare crisis for ever in USA and possibly build thousands of schools and universities.

One to control them all … says Lord of the rings !!! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Now US is moving her "take over plans" to Iran, Nicaragua, Cuba and Venezuela to get control over as many oil sources as possible and to get rid of "socialist countries"! … It´s all about the "petrodollar" Libya, Iraq etc wanted to do business in other currency so US/NATO bombed those countries into ruins and they will try to do the same with Venezuela and Iran!
People think they are voting for "their candidate" but in fact "Deep State" rules – it doesn't matter if the elected is Republican or Democrat. They have the same foreign- and domestic policy (everything works bad)

Not a penny more. It will go for war Put it on Social Security and get the seniors out of Poverty. Those that are retiring better work to get the monthly pee stream higher or it will be worst for you. Plan for your future,Sheeple
Setting up for war IS expensive guys..!
And you fuckers voted for this..! 😂
America has free healthcare. 64% of the budget is spent on social programs .medicade In your state covers you if your health stops you from working for 1 year.longterm you can get SSI disability and you get Medicare.
If your a veteran there is the free va hospitals .every city has health clinics ,dental care and mental health behavior clinics are in the smallest city.all is free or close to it. No nothings totally free the emergancy center will bill you after but if your in serious need of surgery or require a specialist there are emergancy healthcare that doctors can demand so you can imegmdiatly get help.
Americans forget that police ,firedepartments coast guard, fda monitoring our food or hell eve NV the FAA monitor our commercial flight safety are social programs paid for in full by states with government aid.
There is social security for anyone over 65.
We have working social programs any more and your just asking to be lazy and not put any effort in your community or country .this veiw will cause government to grow so large that they can intervene in individuals lives. It leads to the people becoming lime children and looking to daddy for help .daddy governments become easy for consolidated power .
This isnt what America has ever been nor ever should be it's to many other countrys you can move to if you want that .
We the people own our leaders and our milatary .unlike China there millatary and leaders arent paid by taxpayers they dont work for the people. There milatary owns business and pay slave wages to raise there money .there leaders think they know what's better for the individual Chinese people and the people dont know how to take care of themselves .there like daddy's mean harsh abusive daddys.
We live under a corporate oligarchy that is quite literally killing us! Vote progressive in 2020 or it will get expedentially worse as more and more wealth will funnel upwards, widening the income inequality gap to the point where it will have a cascading impact that will bury the middle class and working poor.
What are americans so afraid of? No people have more weapons than the americans, and yet super afraid and think they need more. How can this be?
Is it all about military industry profits (for the few).
boycott usa….sabotage usa…destroy usa
Don't forget $38 Billions for Israel to brutalize the Middle East.
You would think we were fighting 8 wars……oh wait. Yeah cut the damn wars out and we have money to do the job of governance. Way to much money spent on military it's pretty obvious Eisenhower was right and we are partially in control of the military industrial complex.
TRUMP IS SICK DICTATOR
.dreaming to be forst american Dictator and kill 100000000 people..everybody who is againist that Fascistic pig!you Americans Do something ..before is not tooo late!!
Easier to murder innocents abroad than save citizens at home. Cut off campaign funding by special interest groups, place a cap on spending by candidates, mandate free and equal TV time for all candidates and the crooks will disappear.
Thank you
he did not answer the Veterans funds base.. where does the money come from……
40% of federal spending goes to military expenses if we except the Social Security expenses. Divide $1.25 trillion by $3.1 trillion = 40%. The $3.1 is the federal expenses except for Social Security. And 84% of the Income Tax funds the military. The Joint Committee on Taxation reports, 2019, that $1.494 trillion was collected in income taxes, and $1.25 trillion is 84% of that amount. Think of your IRS payment, 85% goes to the military, or 40% more realistically of government spending, excluding Social Security.
A boot smashing the face of a human. Forever.
Welfare for engineers. And this doesn't even include the quasi military spending of the CIA and other government agencies. I would like to see a statistic of how many people work for the government and for people who work for private businesses whose only customer is the government. We would then know, once and for all, that the US is a socialist country. And then we could decide where to spend our money.
People would be more accurate to call it a 1.25 trillion dollar war crimes budget. Because that's what it is; pure and simple.
The real problem with are military budget is that the individual stacks of cash that move into private hands are getting so large that our current rubber bands keep snapping. We need to spend $20billion to develop next generation rubber bands that can not only keep cash stacks safe today but also keep future larger stacks of cash secure and safe. If we don't secure the safety of our stacks of freedom cash the terrorist win. Bengazi 9/11.
