Veteran benefits are not part of that 640 billion. They have a separate 177 billion dollars for funding.
The government spends far more welfare money on the military than it does on the nation's poorest. It's a travesty especially since giving the nation's poorest money to spend back into the economy is one of the easiest way's to boost everyone upwards. Whereas giving Lockheed Martin and Boeing more military contracts just ends up with most of that money in tax havens. And money that is being parked in tax havens does jack shit for the American economy.
There are 2 Trillion dollars in tax havens right now. That's the problem. There's no enforcement of tax evasion law since tax evasion has become legal for only the super rich.
