I am so surprised to see the differences in numbers between Chinese and Russian's military expenses and the US's one. On the blog U.S. Government Learner's Blog, Mai Okada explicitly argues on some reasons why the United States government should not increase the military expenses. How is it possible to spend so much money in only military defense while many are suffering from the lack of healthcare, some infrastructures are in need of care, and the education system is going at its lowest? First, the United States healthcare system is the most expensive one in the world, yet they fail in meeting the needs of the others. Second, United States already has the most powerful military in the world, so I do not see any need in increasing the military funds as they are doing at the disadvantage of the healthcare system and education.
