    the idea ‘theres no money left’ is fiction. a fantasy. theres always money left because we (the country) live in debt.

    they never Not increase the military budget because ‘were out of funds’. they also never decrease it despite the fact we dont really need 50% of it.

      There’s always more money but the more you make the less worth it becomes what gives other major issues. There are enough countries that tried this and failed.

      But yeah, the defence industry is a self serving industry and slashing budget hurts hardware providers which are also wealthy campaign donation contributors so nothing happens.
