I pray you mean there is no money to be an empire and be domestically secure.
Over 8,800 M1 and M1A1 tanks have been produced at a cost of US $2.35–$4.30 million per unit, depending on the variant.**
A single tank will pay the salary (assume average $50k/annum) of ~60 teachers. So tanks alone > 500K teachers. How about nuclear carriers?
So I agree; it's difficult to fund a war on poverty, a war on ignorance, a war on disease, and a war on the people who happen to own the oil, etc.
When MLKJ spoke eloquently on this*** he became a very dangerous man.
