Do you want to discuss military spending or welfare spending?

I'm sure there is wasteful welfare spending as well as excess military spending.  We are talking about politicians after all.

I looked over the list and while in the military on active duty I received assistance from several of the welfare programs included in those figures; additional child tax credit, earned income tax credit, special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children (WIC), child and adult care food program (I am assuming this is food stamps), and possibly supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP).  Would you like to explain to the lower enlisted why these assistance programs need to be cut to preserve military spending?
