1. Where do you get these numbers? 2. The US spends 73% of its federal budget on social services including Health, Medicare etc, 15% on military, 6% interests, 6% others.

1. >100 billion: see thread talking about it. You took the time to post in it, so you are already aware that over >100 billion more dollars has been approved for West Korea's Socialized military.
Cost of Socialized healthcare: see thread talking about it. You took the time to post in it, so you are already aware that Socialized healthcare costs less than West Korea's existing system. I do not know how much less, so I am not specifying any number in this discussion.
Cost of Socialized education: calculated to total around 75 billion by the Bernie Sanders campaign, verified by fact-checkers years a couple years ago.
100>75: Grade 3 math textbooks.
~50% of paycheck tax hike: freely asserted by Kalkano.
2. So what? 100>75. Your numbers don't address that in the slightest and that happens to be the subject of conversation. Do avoid grafting those graphs to conversations that have nothing to do with them.
Kalkano tried making a case that Action A (putting <75 billion into Socialized healthcare/education) would cause Reaction B (tax hike) and result in Consequence C (~50% of your paychecks going into it).
Putting 100 billion into Socialized defense would have a more pronounced effect according to Kalkano's reasoning, ergo he should brace himself: if he is correct he will experience a life-altering tax hike and if he is wrong it undermines the extreme right's adverse reaction to sound fiscal policy.
As my father says: the word for "informed Conservative" is "Liberal".
