    It creates jobs?

    We could create jobs by improving things like infrastructure. Why spend so much money blowing things up?

    America first, amiright? In my opinion, that includes roads, water, electricity, etc.. At least, it should.

    I would prefer the U.S. built more and more weapons.

    I don't give a rats ass about infrastructure. It always backfires. like better roads inevitably end up in motorists driving faster. More dangerously.

    I see. And who exactly profits from that, other than construction companies and unions?

    There are skills and trades a country doesn't want to die out or reduced to nothing, so if it takes 'busy work' to keep those skills honed for a cadre to train others in the future then by all means do so; and, since they get paid, and so do the suppliers, the money gets recirculated back into the economy anyway. 'Outsourcing' everything never really lowered prices to consumers anyway, just piled up more cash for stockholders and bankers at the top of the pyramid, where they sit on it or lobby for yet more govt. guaranteed profits for themselves, and the labor racketeers in Mexico and Red China get a lot richer as well.
