I hate the American war machine as much as anyone, but it hasnt stopped us from spending rediculous amounts of money on domestic programs.
The US ranks near the top of the developed world on money spent per pupil. The US also spends more money on healthcare than nearly anyone. That we get garbage results from this spending is a whole other issue, but for all the evils of the warmongering, I dont think you can lay 'weak social spending' on it.
