Oil > lemonaide

When you spend money on one thing (war((huh, what is it good for?(((absolutely nothing))) you cannot spend it on another (healthcare)

Not how it works. One is a legitimate function of the state (albeit abused lately), and the other is not.
You really want to trim fat from the budget? Start at entitlements and bureaucracy.

What do you mean that's not how it works that's literally one of the fundemental factors behind economics

I. Literally. Explained. What. I. Mean.

Well then clearly you have misunderstood my initial point. Talking. Like. This. Does. Not. Change. Basic. Economics.

The conversation isn't economics. I only said that it isn't a legit purpose of the US government.

The coversation is about government spendings, specifically defense vs healthcare, no? I'd say that's in the ballpark of economics. Should the purpose of government not invovle helping it's people?

@famousone I think I understand. You mean that is not the job of government to prevent suffering and preventable death in its own population by providing adequate healthcare. Is that it?

The purpose of the US government is to preserve the liberty of it's people, to provide a system of justice for criminals and civil disputes, and to mediate interstate disputes.

TF are You two blabbing about? Math is easy. Do you REALLY think they'd "invest" trillion dollars to "buy" oil, when they have it less expensive?!
They're fighting the ISIS, and stop posting this crap, supporting Putin and Isis

You got me, my critique of government expenditure was really me supporting Vladimir Putin and ISIS all along.

Of course it is. You not knowing you're doing it is AHXHUALLY even more dangerous
