While we take pride in our strong national government, I believe that we SHOULD decrease military spending, our tax dollars should be going towards more important causes. We aren't in a war, but we should still maintain a high level of national security, just not at the taxpayer's total expense.
@8QFTKJC5yrs5Y
decrease, just by a little
Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending but the funds should be used on more necessary things
@8QCV6N25yrs5Y
decreased, but any decreased money will be put towards veteran care.
@8P4B25D5yrs5Y

@8NZM97K5yrs5Y
Decrease, instead putting the budget toward climate change efforts, human rights policies and funding projects to achieve off planet mining facility manufacturing.
@8NSLTTM5yrs5Y
Neither, They should only increase military spending if it's necessary if not there's no need to.
