The US should put less money into military and instead put more money into education and NASA

Money doesn't solve everything. The problem with the education system starts with congress. If you want to fix the education system then either elect the right congressmen for the job to fix the education system or run for a position. Money won't be the solution. In many places around the nation have something called a levy. In most places the school with the most votes gets the levy while the other school doesn't get the money. The solution is how the schools get the money. http://www.heraldstaronline.com... http://m.wtov9.com... Fix how school gets the money, a school with more people are getting the money in most places. That isn't fair to a school in need with fewer people. So the problem and the solution is how the schools get the money. Did you know the military makes missiles, tanks, ships, helicopters, airplanes, weapons, grenades and much more? http://mentalfloss.com... These are just 9 more inventions by the military that you use everyday. Do you know the cost of every invention used by the military or the ammo or guns they use? Don't you think that might be the reason why the military gets a lot of money? http://www.inetres.com... This link says how much one bullet cost. A bullet is about 20 to 80 cents each. To fill a pistol it might require 8 bullets. If each bullet is 20 cents the we need to multiply 20 times 8. That equals $1.60 to fill a pistol. On September of 2009, 456,651 people enlisted in the army. If each person got one pistol that holds 8 bullets for 20 cents for each bullet. The cost will be $730,641.60. This is just the bullets alone. The cost for a gun is a few hundred dollars. I will be using the lowest amount of cost for a pistol that I find. I found a pistol that is $489.99. Let's multiply that by 456,651. The total cost is $223,754,423.50. The reason why the military spends a lot of money is because the prices for what they need is expensive. http://www.infoplease.com... http://www.cabelas.com... If prices for guns and ammo is expensive, imagine the cost of an airplane or ship. So you're saying that if something is harder then it deserves money. A rock is harder than a tissue. Should we give money to the rock? It is not hard to make a rocket at all. Step 1: make tubes 2: open rocket in computer 3: make new model 4: make motor 5: testing 6: build 7: fins 8: motor mount 9: fins and launch lug 10: nose cone 11: recovery 12: attaching bits 13: finishing Only 13 steps to make a rocket. Is it still harder to make a rocket or to form a military team. Can you swim 500 yards in 12:30 minutes. What about 50 push ups and 50 sit ups. Can you run 1.5 miles in 10:30 minutes while wearing boots and pants? If you can't then you can't join the navy seals. Those are the minimum requirements. Is it still harder to make a rocket than to form a military group? http://m.military.com... Nasa does not need more money, it needs less. Nasa wanted to know when someone stays in bed for 70 days straight. It cost $18,000. $3 million for a seminar on how congress works. $390,000 to teach kids on climate change. $125,955 to make a 3D pizza printer. Was all this necessary spending?
