Let me get this straight - spending hundreds of billions on illegal wars that we don’t really try to win so that it drags out for years is legitimate spending, but updating our fleet of aircraft so that we can defend ourselves in case we are attacked is not worth it.
What illegal wars?

Yes. Very Versailles, non? I swear, this period in America is like France, ca. 1788.
If we were trying to defend ourselves we would get rid of radical muslims in this country and close the borders. Instead we try to nation build over there giving the blood of our soldiers for people who not just want us dead but want to kill each other.
We do not need the oil in the middle east. We can drill here, support ourselves, build up our military and build a strong missile defense system and encourage American business to export and kick the butts of anyone who messes with us.
OK off my soapbox now.
