Is it just me, or is it not very comforting to say "well at least we aren't as bad as North Korea, Myanmar, Jordan, Israel, and Burundi". Seriously? It's like one homeless guy sitting next to another and saying "Well, I have 10 teeth and this guy only has 5, so my hygiene is better than this guy, I'm doing pretty good". We could do so much better things with that "607bn" each year. In my opinion of course.

I know, huh.... I would even be willing to trade our war budget and give everyone free healthcare. :P you what we should buy everyone new cars too. They are kinda expensive!
