While i am not for the MIC,Ii also disagree that the US can easily afford it. The government has been running an ever increasing deficit because they can’t afford it.

Those deficits are largely due to (GOP) massively cutting taxes for the wealthy (but remember how some of us got back a few crumbs? Muh taxes!) so now the government is underfunding everything except the military. Freedom!

Yeah to bad the “fiscally responsible “ party ruined the governments surplus by cutting taxes, and fighting “terrorists”.
