War.
Calling it defence is an obscene euphemism. The US has not been under direct attack by another nation since Pearl Harbour, yet has been involved in approximately FIFTY armed conflicts.
There is no excuse for a county as wealthy as the US to have second rate systems of health,education and welfare. Traditional US jingoism gives the lunar right the appearance of an excuse not have world class systems of social justice. Instead, TRILLIONS have been spent on avoidable wars.
There is a large group of powerful and not-so-powerful people in the US who can only be described as callous and/or ignorant arseholes. These people are too callous, too ignorant or too stupid to grasp that high taxes are needed for an affluent society. [from which everyone benefits]
