Do you have any sources to back up your claim that useful and wasteful spending decreases equally?

If that is the case, it sounds like the issue is with management which can also be replaced.

The military is unbelievably wasteful and I have a very hard time buying your argument. You’re framing makes it sound like he’s proposing getting rid of the budget all together.

Also, I didn’t realize the world was at peace…

Compared to what’s in the history books, yeah, it is. This is by far the most peaceful time humanity has ever known.
