That you have to conflate Social Security Insurance with the need to educate our children to attempt to make your illusive point is disgusting.

You ignore the billions spent on a military that is waging a lost war (or is is several lost wars) in the Middle-East with absolutely no discernible goal.  Just 3 or 4 drone strikes using Mavericks could hire several teachers in every state.  

I sure don't feel safer because Obama "killed" bin Laden.  I feel less safe that Clinton killed Kaddafi.   

Now, YOU were the one who expanded this debate, not me.  It would be useless to extend it I think.
