It indeed has been a priority for every adminstration. I remember reading that jimmy carter promised to cut it significantly but he raised it instead. I'm just saying Americans need to stop this military industrial complex from getting out of hand, which is what Eisenhower warned you guys in his farewell address. It's cutting important programs such as education, health etc. Are these not important programs or is building a bomb or a fighter jet?
