Gun Control: Say What you Mean.

[CapnAwesome]

It is erroneous to make a political platform on cutting programs and cut other things except the military, which is one of the largest expenditures.

It is erroneous to make it seem like others are not at all for cutting waste because they're correct in pointing out the military-industrial complex's lion share of the budget.

I totally agree with your first point. The military is the most wasteful thing in the government, and the most useless at the same time. However the post I was replying actually specifically said that no cuts should be made to school budgets or the (always very general) 'social safety net' because we have a bloated military budget.

That statement is a red herring. It's nonsensical, imagine if our school budgets were ten times what they are, does the statement still stand? The military's budget has nothing at all to do with the validity of school budgets or medicare or anything.
