Reply to comment by PSEL14 in FDNY wants to up the cost of ambulance rides by more than 50% by NYY657545
I wish we spent 500b on military.
The 2023 federal direct budget for the military is $813b (which is more than they asked for).
That also doesn't include the hundreds of billions in state and local municipality police and corrections budgets.

It also doesn't include the Energy Dept and the nuclear stockpile for all those nuclear missiles.

I’d understand it to an extent of America was a poor country but it’s the complete opposite

We’re too busy propping up European countries who can’t put up the coin to defend themselves. Waste of fucking cash.

We did spend 500b on the military last year, it's just that it was the Ukrainian military

Does this budget include the money that we send to foreign ally’s?
