The administration IS the government. And only defense contractors benefit from the spending. If we spent as much as the next inline country we could payoff our debt in 10 years. We dont need a global empire we cant pay for and it makes the USA look bad sticking our nose in other countrys business.
The USA is not threatened by any country. We spend as much as the next 11 combined which is crazy, no wonder we are in so much debt. Cut the defense budget in half and put it towards the debt.
