Yeah, just that 3 billion comes out to $60,000,000 if divided equally between all 50 states. Instead it's being pissed away on other countries' wars.

By any stretch that is huge.

You're absolutely using the warmonger's logic to support your position here, so no need to clutch your pearls.

Except that it’s half a percent. It’s another half a penny on every dollar.

It’s not huge by any stretch.
