    I think we would all love to fund all of that…but Americas problem is it’ll take tax payer money and devote 99 cents of every dollar towards “defense”. all that is really needed is a halfing of the military/dod budget and reallocate funds similar to what is requested.

    …but who votes for that…

      If we actually taxed billionaires and millionaires and large corporations like we used to, we could fund it easily.

      All that money goes to the pockets of billionaires that give politicians money. That’s why government contracts for companies are so high.

      We are paying taxes and a large chunk of it goes to wealthy.
