You assume that the entire amount of that budget is spent on erstwhile things that keep you safe at night. $800 toilet seats, $1,200 hammers........................
Hook, line, and sinker.

Actually, having written two books on national defense, including what I think is THE biography of the Trident submarine program, those “$1,200 hammers” were pure fiction. I can explain to you how it can appear that there are expenditures like this, but it’s nonsense.
A huge portion of the Defense money is going back to the American economy by buying weapons and military equipments from defense companies where millions of American workers are directly or indirectly related to that segment of our economy.
