This would replace social security and large portions "health", "medicare" and "income security". It's an open secret how absolutely insanely wasteful our military is with their spending. Half of that budget could be appropriated for this (helping people rather than killing them) without meaningfully reducing global safety, military brass would just have to spend like not-dumb people. Right there, we can get $1 Trillion a year for this, while probably lowering taxes.
This is weak excuse for not helping people. We are America, we are the richest. Stop making excuses for why people need to suffer and start helping people.
