I thought Fact Check was about facts only. I found the commentary and conclusions such as, "That is a significant percentage of our spending, but it pales in comparison to the 46.3 percent we are spending on various entitlement programs" to be unclear. What programs are they lumping together when they say entitlement programs? If you are presenting this as a fact check then list the so called entitlement programs. Social Security and Medicare were cited elsewhere and I wanted to argue, yes, but those collecting Social Security paid into it before drawing from it. The war however is being paid for by borrowed money, some of it from Chinese banks. The point Kuchinich was making was that this war of choice, this unnecessary war is costing us overwhelmingly. Comparing that to Social Security, something Americans hold dear is comparing apples and oranges.
