military spending is 51% of discretionary spending. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6wwEz... Not 51% of government spending, which is much much larger

How many trillions per decade is that?

[grapist420]

cool but it’s not the half of the federal budget you suggested

No, 10% and 51% is a pretty substantial and material difference. Lying for the right cause is still lying.
