    It’s still a rediculously large military budget and it’s incredible how much we spend on our social programs only for them to still suck ass

      Fixing our social programs would go so far to make things better without even changing anything else at all.

      The amount of money spent isn’t the issue, it’s how inefficiently it’s spent.

        Agreed!

        I think that was part of my thinking with my hot take.

        I’m all for the rich paying their fair share, but maximizing what we already have is important too.
