I think they should, US's army is huge and hard to maintain, US spends a crapload of money into the military, however, education and healthcare is really sleeping behind.
Should USA cut it's military spending and increase it's spending in education and healthcare? Yes? No? |

Its good to have a strong military, but up to a point. Now our military is like an oversized wart on America's face. |

| We shouldn't spend anything on education. Let the states handle that, not the federal government. |

| As a military child, I disagree, because then i won't be able to afford an education. |

Basic education is free I think, I think you should affort domething for free.
But if you need money, youi could of brigade as a police officer, there are never enough police officers. |

Then you have to think about the bills, and food, the military doesn't get payed enough, and I can't join the military, im only 12. |

| I think Private schools would be much more efficient than some public school with so much lag and bad graphics. |

Just let the states handle the education.
Central government should have no say in the field of education. |

| Honestly I think they should just cut about 20% or 30% off of the Military budget and give that 20% or 30% to the Education budget, I say 20 or 30 because of the war going on in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. We'll need the ammunition and the medical supplies, Plus I think instead of 30, give 20% to the military and 10% of that to the food foundation, so we can help the squatters that are taking shelter in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iran, with hundreds of food carepackages. |

My plan would be very helpful to cutting the budget..but 1. The US will never do it 2. It requires dismantling of a majority of the international bases. |

We're already spending enough on education. But just because money is pouring in= Doesn't mean the kids are smart.
It depends entirely upon the teachers. |

The system of education has become quite inefficient. |

A person becomes smart by wanting to be smart
They learn by wanting to learn.
If a child sits in class and sleeps,etc he does not learn while all that money on education was a waste,more school hours days,etc do not help.And alot of homeschooled are smarter then your average public school student I think
If a child pays attention,writes notes,etc he/she learns and gets smarter.
Then in Asian countries
Tradition seems to be you must be smart or you iz moron.
And there all smart but have extremely strict parents.But thats only some asians with parents like that with that tradition

NASA is like the smallest thing that the Us spends on.
Learn facts cutting nasa will not do anything or save anything.nasa might be in space but they ain't getting loads of money at all |

Lol pepper you are crazy.
Without an education standard, how can you guarantee your education in one state will be accepted in another?
This is one of MANY problems with this stupid "states rights" education system |

Also you guys thinking of cutting NASA are idiots.
While the military makes two types of jet engines for a single plane, because it can, Nasa has two rovers on mars that were built to last for 3 months, lasting 8 years.
Nasa is proabaly one of the most efficient government agencies in usa.
Go figure, it was basically founded by notsy scientists. |

| Carbon, our Government is spending WAY too much. The States handle the education, and the parents make sure the child is taught the right things. If we had the government funding our schools, (which they are already) they would brainwash the children with propaganda. I've seen it happen. |

Infact, not just the states, but the local governments should take care of the schools. The government only knows the condition of education on average. Local and state governments know exact problems for each individual school.
Also what we should do, I believe it is time to bring the country to a normalcy, just like after WWI, and which never happened after WWII or post 9/11. |
