You deny facts. That explains a lot.

I don't think meals on wheels is a federal responsibility.

This ship costs almost a million dollars just to FIRE a weapon. But, the military needs more?

Now take a look at this. The US doesn't do too well.

We wouldn't need to spend so heavily on the military and related costs if Dems would stop trotting us off to such costly and deadly wars.

National defense is a Constitutionally enumerated power of Fed Gov. Social Welfare programs are not. As such, Social Welfare programs are the purview of the states' and local governments.

Privately funded projects have proven to be nothing but greedy cash grabs for those in charge. Capitalism is a failure.
