-What are your thoughts about the government putting more money in military programs instead of education programs for kids all around the world?

I think it’s absolutely stupid! Its so dumb how governments around the world spend more money in their military programs than the education of children. The US in 2015 alone spent 598.6 BILLION just on military purposes. That’s 54% of their years money spent on military, hmm how much did they spend on education your ask? Just 70 billion, 4% of the year’s money. It worries and annoys me how they spend so much money on their military when they can spend way more on education. The children are the future, they’re going to be the adults of this world one day but how can they be difference makers and great adults of the adults now don’t teach them properly, don’t show them what’s proper. I honestly think that them spending so much on military shows the children that that is what’s important and that will start a cycle. A cycle where war might be more common than it is now. www.nationalpriorities.org/campaigns/military-spending-united-states/
