amazing.
we pay trillions, 1/5th-1/4th of the feds annual budget goes to defense, to protect us against countries like china.

Ignoring China's military buildup is not a wise idea. The idea that China building aircraft carriers shouldnt be something that we are concerned about is pure folly. We have countless threads about stimulus and how great spending money is yet when talking about cutting defense US jobs are lost. If we are going to needlessly spend money to stimulate the economy I'd rather it be on the military than wind farms or something else that will ultimately cost us money anyway.
Remember that much of the money that is used by the Chinese to build up their military comes directly from us.
