Gene, Roger made a post on May 10 on my thread entitled "Re: Constitutionality of the Debt Limit." The graphic he posted shows that "the United States spent $877 billion on defense in 2022. And, the next top 10 countries in the world combined spent $849 billion in the same year.
I don't know how much the United States will spend on defense in 2023 but I do know that McCarthy and the other Republicans in Congress want to spend more as part of the Debt Limit settlement negotiations.
Gene, of the "10% [you sing] is good enough for Jesus," how much of that 10% is for defense spending?
Last Sunday, May 21, 2023, 60 Minutes had as its first segment "
Price Gouging in Pentagon Contracts."
Why don't you watch that 60 Minutes segment and see if you have a song for that?
