typically. folk who for whatever perverse reason depend the bloated expenditures of the national-security state---to which you have to add the costs of 2 or 3 off-the-books wars----add social programs together in order to come up with a chunk of budget that offsets military expenditure.
the bottom line is that empire is expensive and the united states cannot afford it.
that's the choice that's being avoided here.
