He needs to put his money where his mouth is, then, but we all know that’s hard for a Cosplay Christian to do. When they come to a fork in the road, they prefer to go to the cruel side.

PS I can’t understand why more than half of our national budget goes to the military. Just way too much.

Majority of our budget (~73%) is locked up in "mandatory spending", which is majority Social Security and Medicare. Almost half of our discretionary spending is defense. Overall it's ~14% of our overall budget. That said, it's still obscene, and still ~6x what the feds pay for education.
