Inflation isn't at 10% but it seems like investing in infrastructure is a good idea. If we needed to pinch pennies we could start at the bloated military budget

Right, in the middle of war with Russia and with war with China on the horizon. Great idea.

    The US aren't at war with Russia.

    Sure, they're helping an ally in a De facto war against Russia, but currently the us spends more on "defense" than both Russia and China combined, when it is technically at peace. In case of a war with China, are you expecting the military budget to not increase at all?

    When is the time US has not been at war? Maybe, we are inverting cause and effect here.. US is always at war because the budget allows for it?

      Say it this way. Tomorrow if the american security /defence budget was cut to 0, do you think the rest of the world will storm/attack Americans because they have an eternal blood thirst for them? Don't they have their own problems to deal with?

      This is the problem with mitary and security infra of any country. They keep the bogeyman alive because their paychecks depend on it.
