Yeah...actually, Bobert, it's WAY more than 20% that goes to defense. I strongly suggest you read a little book by Gore Vidal called "The Decline and Fall of the American Empire", and you will find out what the real percentage of the American budget is that goes to "Defense" (which is really Offense...)

I'm serious, man. Find that book. Read it.

The USA presently spends more on military stuff annually than all the other nations in the world combined. A country cannot do that without...

1. Becoming the enemy of everyone.
2. Going bankrupt.
