Liberals saying- I support the military
It has been well documented that when it comes to voting for military funding- liberals would much rather spend money on social programs. First you must understand their rational. Approximately 10% of the population in the United States is poor, which is about 30 million Americans. There are approximately one million Americans serving in the U.S. military. If only 1 in 5 of the poor vote, that equals about six million votes as compared to one million total votes from the military. There are two relevant questions here. What percent of the poor vote Republican? A very samall percent! How close was the 2000 Presidential Election? This leads directly to the answer of why would liberals rather appropriate money to social programs than to the defense of our country. Please note, the defense of our country is a primary, if not the primary responsibility of our government. If we don't protect the country, who will? It is not something we can do on an individual basis. However- the poor on an individual basis can go get an education and get a job... So when liberals say they support the military- but cut funding and use that money on social programs- it is just another liberal lie.
