Please, do find an entitlement program with a price tag that even remotely resembles the DOD.
The entire Department of Health and Human Services functions on a budget that is a fraction of the DOD.
We could fund the Centers for Disease Control for 20 plus years on what we've spent in one year on Iraq.
There is a big difference between Billions and Trillions. About 3 decimal places if I remember correctly.
I personally do not like "entitlement" programs like welfare and disability. They are rife with fraud. I do like healthcare and research. My origional point was that we could spend more wisely. Please, do not attempt to twist it. The point is clear.
