Pushing left wing agenda really I doubt it, both Democrats and Republicans are corparte whores that push the agenda of the people that gave them the most in donations.  Also when it comes to goverment spendig Republicans always spend more because they love to spend money on defense spending and that is pretty much the biggest money pit you can spend money on.  It only benefits a select few but it is very expensive and a lot of people get rich of it.

I don't think appeasing their donors is the whole story... but okay.

Military spending isn't the country's largest expense, I mean its a fraction of healthcare, entitlements, handouts, etc. So I'm not gonna defend military spending, but its not why this country is going broke per se.

I think you need to do some more research we spend more on our military then the next seven countries combined.  It costs $4 million dollars a year to keep one soldier in Afghanistan.  The majority of deficit spending since Reagan is due to military spending.
