We spend four times as much on defense as the next country, so I think we cut 75% from there before we take food from hungry people, agreed?

Indeed.
The US spends a much as the next 26 countries combined - 24 of whom are your allies.
But guess what - those campaigning for lower taxes and less government don't want to touch the military budget. It is very, very silly.
The "military budget" includes spending on equipment for local police departments. Believe it or not, Democrats are just as loathe to touch that as Republicans. Why do you think defense spending went up the two years Democrats had carte blanche over the budget?
