Ah yes, cut taxes, raise spending on the military, and pay interest to investors. Other factors lead to the discrepancy, granted, but that's a big contributor too.

They pay the interest cause they ran out of money Machjo... And while you're on the 'pay taxes' train of thought, less than 1/2 of Americans pay fed taxes. You might also want to consider that there is a little more than the military that they apply towards the public.

Sure there is. But there is no doubt the US military is designed for overkill. Unless they're preparing for an attack from an extra-terrestrial civilization, they don't need a military the size of the one they have now.

LOL if an alien invasion happens,with all the latest toys,i do not think they'll win the fight against the invaders,as some documentaries on the subject have shown,we'll have to go low tech to win,no computer virus,no hot shot US Marine pilot. ;)
