under the compromise house budget gotten planned
under the the Ryan I Murray plant of 30 will continue for many programs that the
cuts from the sequester will continue on but one organization that will not
continue to be
under %uh those cuts is the pentagon we talked a couple weeks ago about
reported 1.4 trillion dollars at the pentagon just
lost over the past 10 years can't account for well there have some more
money to foolishly spend
under Murray in Ryan's a congressional budget deal the Pentagon will get
additional $32 billion dollars
or 4.4 percent of its budget in 2014 leaving its base budget at a higher
level than in 2005
and 2006 now those numbers those years are not chosen randomly
we were at war at that point and we backed out of our wars that we keep
getting told we're moving outta
Afghanistan Iraq at least in some accent so
we're talking about the Pentagon's budget here because when with us when
the senate finally takes up
the budget bill and they respond to what that the house is sent to them
we have to talk about our priorities and we need to understand the baseline
figures for how much
the pentagon is alright has been getting over the past ten years and how much
they will get under the house bill
to understand the Food Stamp cuts the unemployment the
extension that won't happen is that acceptable let's talk about what the
Pentagon has been getting so first of all we got this crap here
what's called the peace dividend see at the major wars in the past 100 years
marked out there and you can see that after we pull out at the conflict
military spending drops
a fairly precipitously you really staying higher than it was before the
war
but there is the drop now after the Afghanistan and Iraq wars you see a tiny
little minuscule drop unfortunate what that does not account for
is the increased money that the Pentagon will get under the Murray
Ryan deal so peace dividend in these past wars not this time apparently the
peace dividend has pieced out
and we will not get now we've got a bunch of other a great
graphic shows go to one more that exxon you can see there
like you can see that the line is the the budget the state budget the
supplementary war spending jacked up to even higher levels and obviously
that has been cut largely because we have pulled out many more troops from
Afghanistan and Iraq
but you can see that the number will just continue to go up
under the new Murray Ryan deal and
like very big *** the cut pretty much every important social program we're
talking about investigation into infectious diseases
housing subsidies and things like that food stamps education
name in any way any liberal priority but we got a raise the budget at the
pentagon
by the way every middle-class priority I mean who doesn't want more money for
their kids education
as opposed to more money for the pentagon many via sizes has a sizable a
pentagon where you 3 fact that I love number one
Los Angeles could fit into the land managed by the pentagon
ninety three times yet and Los Angles a gigantic
the Army uses more than twice as much building space
is although offices in New York City that
that seems unbelievable unbelievable it is gigantic
all right now as far as the share the budget it is HAP
actually more than half over all discretionary spending
so like know what should we cut you know we spent also you take education
forms based at port-au-prince all home is important role
on one side and depending on is more
okay if for the whole budget includes social security medicare remember we
paid into Social Security Medicare
to should meet really include a bit even if you did included the pentagon is
still
01 bit 20 percent of total spending its gigantic in then my favorite one
six-point eight billion dollars in excess
obsolete or unserviceable material at the pentagon
26.8 billion dollars up junk like a July
yeah and they're not even ashamed about it is like to look into that category
like our that 6.8 billion dollars went through the garbage winning with the
pentagon right
and so if for example Obamacare
the a news report came out Obamacare wasit 6.8 billion dollars
the world would explode there although I lover all
do I'll tell you what I just wore out I can't believe this
ways to 6.8 billion dollars or trying to people health care
right meanwhile we throw a 6.8 billion dollars
for this nonsense there was a go home you know course yeah that's that's where
this
I mean we should never even speak about austerity way with the amount of money
they spent on the military
57 percent discretionary funding meeting is pending now an education is like five
present the end up with drones
that are freaking brilliant and teenagers that can be allowed near
scissors without supervision
and in bed that way until we care about is a society we've
nine hundred military bases around the world. meanwhile icahn we still good
data people are built with
kentucky fried chicken the chicken fill the hormones and an enormous toll
mercury we don't know what the hell burger is filled with because we deep
under nafta
your I you might have the wrong
0 wat so its own initiative
its it's shameful in any at Halliburton alone this came out this year made 39
billion from the Iraq war
$39 billion got weak-kneed number don't even process in our brains
that's thirty eight billion dollars more than one billion dollars
high demand okay and very medicare cover taxes on those on yeah I don't know if
they're based in Dubai
right now to be fair look they use a free market process
to get those countries called no bid contracts
yeah 1011 I was a lotta allowed to bid on it very much that's why the pentagon
which is hihi in government on organization
and the no bid contracts have Halliburton are all part of capitalism
I K that's why they show you the free market works best
exactly well and also that our priorities are the priorities are the 99
percent you know the regular people who actually do most people living and
working
in america that our priorities are not the priorities a military-industrial
intelligence complex
and in a very least and so you know where we are stuck with this kind of
system that we have to work very hard to continue to overturn
now let me flesh out some over the things only mention in his red
defense considered $52 billion education at $74 billion
so a little over 10 percent what we spent in warfare
even where we're not at war in even when there is a almost no chance
that another country is going to attack us global mobile sign up to be in the
military because they want to get to college itself
yeah you know if we may come down real this if the 74th enough to make an
educated at that point I'm 16 at the brown person
they'll get we'll get to that level you know Louis I don't know how you can
leave them along with scissors actually what you we do wind up living along with
his drop this
don't know yeah ironically that's that's where they go and
everybody's like you know when you re s concert is like internationally guy
damage given money to date through these borders and we
that was televised a 26 going
okay by the way quarter which was the Israel in Egypt along right
so I mean if you ask should we do with money for miserable like
like the think europe are the satanic cult from New York grade
or you you know you worship the Lord on a Mon or something so
no problem okay he's a good guy help anyway 652
226 try to put these numbers in this some kind of context apparently one
other
people come up with that the number that the the cost to feed the
world for I think the years like $50 billion like
with amazing I mean one thing: secretaries and yeah
before get hit say they'd rather than that formalism Iran struck
okay look a survey by was president I would be
on a bash and of course and like Obama would be scared out of his mind to any
other stuff relic oh my god it could says hey I'm president too late start
be here like they always so I rather sir one Gator may never mean
right I'd be like second term gone I don't even
I'm not even thinking about it here's what's happening in mister move them
that I have
the six earned $50.2 billion will immediately be $602 billion
you'll be fine trust me Canada is not about to invade us
that 51 ordered yeah it's feeding the entire world
n your bellyaching you'll say apologize for the world alright but I'm a liberal
MHA do-gooder you say nonsense like that
you know what'll happen the world will love us and then we will lead
less the 602 Billy right you could put kato
continue defense department doesn't need to work as hard
the wrestling world loves it yet that would actually be defense spending
that everybody looks 12 really passes good morning as I wanna make my point in
in it ties in very old what you're saying so
two more really impressive numbers the pentagon employs three million people
a hundred thousand more than Walmart that's insane the pentagon currently
operates more than 170 golf courses worldwide
but impressive actually hey let's bring up this last chart there are bunkers
so what you're seeing there is our military spending against the military
spending an entire continents
ours the one top you'll be surprised to find that out you can see that the other
content it is going up a little bit
tiny but you can see the Asia is actually going up stop someone
significantly
but we're still far far higher and in fact currently
we spend more than 40 percent per year
that the entire globe spends on defense and not bear in mind as will not but
went on the first upset newsroom that almost all the countries that are
included in that chart
our allies about hours and so that the point I wanna make is
you're saying you'd spend the fifty billion on the food and I i jokingly
said they would be defense spending
and the reason that we can't cut defense is because people
mistakenly believe that a dollar spent on our military is a dollar that makes
us safer but that's not the case
with funds a drone the plausible wedding in Yemen the lead more people who want
to attack us
they did not make us more secure expending more does that make you more
secure spending less might actually in this case but cancer in a way that we
deploy our military force
might make us safer in there so many more official ways that we could spend
our money
if we were actually concerned about our safety
and forty people don't understand that and in one more thing the republicans
will say so
you soft headed lips right
that's usually have a certain things and button they'll see if you can t if you
think then you just gonna give the $50 billion in
Inc your poverty in the world and that they love you they want love you anyway
they'll hate you anyway because I hate America hey this could be
areas right but they do have if FairPoint freedom
yet to hear freedom n in the heat the food that we gave them I'm sure that's
true
thank you for example after world war two when we gave me that
yes it is the end when we hear all that money and help to or
forward deadly enemies the Germans and the Japanese the guys who
you know week spill hundreds of thousand lives and and blood and treasure over
it hours little on the millions that died overall well in germany japan won
up hating us afterwards right
all know right they became our top allies
and the top economies in the world hmm
if only we could learn from history but then that would
require knowing history in giving a damn about facts
