    It’s always cute how warmongers pretend that those billions wouldn’t make a huge difference for struggling Americans.

      I don’t know what in that sentence gives you the confidence to call me a warmonger.

      And also, no, it wont really. Unless you redefine “huge difference”. We spend $522B on social/economic assistance programs at the federal level. So a 0.005% 0.5% increase? Hardly a huge difference.

            that’s how percentages work lol. if you have 100 usd, 100.5 usd would be a 0.5% increase not a 0.005 percent increase (which you would get by dividing 0.5/100, right?)

        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.
