Say in the USA we spend $1 trillion on military. The US economy is $25 trillion. And lets say the total compensation on average for everybody in the military industrial complex, including pensions and benefits, is $200,000 per person. So $1 trillion divided by $200,000 = 5 million people. The total US workforce is around 162 million. (and total population 335 million)
Not just do families depend on those military and contractors jobs, but entire towns/small cities economies depend on that spending. Like as weapons factories are being expanded and their suppliers expanding, Americans are getting good jobs. And the military itself is good paying/great benefits jobs.
Cuckservatives against defense spending, say so what people can just work other jobs. Ok, what other jobs, everything except government is reducing jobs as machinery and computers get more advanced and not as many jobs are needed. There is not some industry out there that is looking to hire millions of people in good, long term secure union, full benefits jobs that you can support a family on. Every industry is downsizing year by year.
