Let's turn over 90% of the defense budget (or more accurately, the Budget
for Foreign Military Intervention) to domestic purposes, and I bet we could
raise the education level in the U.S. to that of a First World Nation.  Of
course, we could simultaneously provide universal health care,
comprehensive unemployment benefits & job retraining, major environmental
initiatives, desperately needed infrastructure investment, youth programs,
care for the elderly & handicapped, and other things that our government
doesn't define as worthy to "defend."
