Hey, Congress, our power grid, our roads and our bridges are ancient, overloaded and need to be repaired/replaced/upgraded!

Congress: "Ukraine's borders are sovereign and must be protected!!!"

Hey, Congress, how 'bout fixing/properly funding the VA so our veterans can receive the healthcare they deserve??

Congress: "The primary concern of the U.S. government is providing humanitarian aid to Gaza/Haiti/Somalia/(insert other third-world shithole here)!!!

Hey, Congress, our southern border needs to be secured to stem the tide of uneducated, diseased illegal aliens streaming across every day!

Exactly.

Just think of how robust our electrical grid and transportation systems would be if we took all that war spending and spent it in the homeland on physical capital. Hell, we need to help Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, etc. open civil engineering/construction divisions so they would put more pressure on building things instead of blowing up things. It's nuts.
