I think it's interesting to hear us debate the amount of money we spend on the military. Sure it's a lot of money- much more than any other country spends, but it's far less than we spend on education. And, while our military is undisputably the best in the world, our education system lags woefully behind the rest of the developed world. Because the figures for the amount of money we spend on education are buried deeply in 50 different state budgets, nobody rags on that spending. Wouldn't that money be better spent elsewhere? Or better yet, given back to the people from whom it was extorted, the taxpayers?
