Data that shows what could we be able to do, if we didn't spend 753 Billion dollars on the Military, with respectable sources on the bottom right corner of the image.
Tuition-free public universities would cost less than the increase in the military budget in 2018. That’s right, if we had just kept the budget as-is we would’ve educated every graduating senior in America, every year, forever.
I guess spending more money on healthcare than the next 10 countries combined isn’t good enough.

For the record, creating high-speed rail has an initial cost, but it'll pay for itself over 15-20 years if properly amortised

The absolute craziest fact about it is ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures
Like how do you even justify the need if the next country is only a third of your spending? It's mind-bogglingly stupid to me..
