I don't know how this brain genius talking point got so popular.

So things don't cost money when you already spent money on them? ...You don't think those stocks are going to be replenished having been depleted?

Wonder why they never apply that logic to housing…

Then it suddenly costs money!

Because it has a point, albeit not perfect. Wouldn't you rather the US not have a ridiculously big military budget and can divert spending to, say, education and healthcare?

Sure, it's great that the US arsenal can obliterate any country in the world should the political powers will it, but this is not the best version of the world, honestly. As you said, it's your money. Are you okay with it?
