:'''Question:''' Why does the country that spends 50% of all [[military]] spending on the [[planet]] and more than the next 7 nations combined have trouble furnishing [[soap]] to active duty [[naval]] personnel?
:Comment: During the [[ObamaCare]] debate, I had a series of discussions with Rattrolls @ both [[Conservapedia]] & [[Rationalwiki]] over the comparative healthcare costs in the [[United States]] with our subsidized [[socialist]] [[allies]] in {[NATO]] and the Asia-Pacific. I tried explaining the real cost to the average American citizen of maintaining a "[[security]]" umbrella or guarantee versus our socialist allies paying for it themselves (I was actually ahead of [[Trump]], as the record can prove) and how US defense spending allowed for [[European]] [[welfare state]] (or a $24 kidney transplant in [[New Zealand]] as Ace McWicked claimed).
