Which is a surface level observation, as most of the “military spending” went into the pockets of the corrupt at every echelon of leadership. Everyone in power wanted to skim off of their alloted funding, which prevented it from actually being utilized as intended. Blaming the decline solely on military spending is a stretch, just like the other comment trying to compare the 1953 Soviet Union to Nazi Germany a decade prior.

America has fallen from the top 20 happiest countries because the senile leadership of Biden prioritized war profits over citizen welfare and infrastructure. The caricature here exemplifies that point but let’s get caught up over the pedantics of a failed nation instead.

Biden is president for 4 years. I hope you are not so senile to think it started with him.

Biden signed the largest infrastructure bill in history, IIRC.
