In 1995, world military spending totaled nearly $800 billion. If we redirected just $40 billion of those resources over the next 10 years to fighting poverty, all of the world's population would enjoy basic social services, such as education, health care, nutrition, reproductive health, clean water and sanitation. ~ Oscar Arias
Military Spending quotes by Oscar Arias
We need to increase our military spending. We need to deal with a no- fly zone in Syria, a safe zone. ~ Jeb Bush
Military Spending quotes by Jeb Bush
Now all of us deplore this vast military spending. Yet, in the face of the Soviet attitude, we realize its necessity. Whatever the cost, America will keep itself secure. But in the process we must not, by our own hand, destroy or distort the American system. This we could do by useless overspending. I know one sure way to overspend. That is by overindulging sentimental attachments to outmoded military machines and concepts. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
Military Spending quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
One of the most serious [challenges] is increased military spending and the cost of maintaining and developing nuclear arsenals. Enormous resources are being consumed for these purposes, when they could be spent on the development of peoples, especially those who are poorest. For this reason I firmly hope that, during the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference to be held this May in New York, concrete decisions will be made towards progressive disarmament, with a view to freeing our planet from nuclear arms ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Military Spending quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
U.S. military spending, which consumes half of all discretionary spending, has had a profound social and political cost. Bridges and levees collapse. Schools decay. Domestic manufacturing declines. Trillions in debt threaten the viability of the currency and the economy. The poor, the mentally ill, the sick, and the unemployed are abandoned. Human suffering is the price for victory, which is never finally defined or attainable. ~ Chris Hedges
Military Spending quotes by Chris Hedges
The situation - having to choose between imposing higher retail prices and reducing investments and military spending - created a dilemma for the government: deciding between conflict with the public or with the Party economic elite. But not making a decision heightened the risk that, as the crisis developed, there would be conflict with both the public and the elite.18 The new generation of leaders clearly did not understand this. The traditional management of the economy was oriented on natural, rather than abstract, parameters. The development of cattle breeding was discussed at the highest level more frequently than the country's budget. Industry and business leaders regarded finances as necessary but dreary bookkeeping.19 In addition, information on the real state of the budget, hard currency reserves, foreign debt, and balance of payments was available only to an extremely narrow circle of people, many of whom understood nothing about it anyway. ~ Yegor Gaidar
Military Spending quotes by Yegor Gaidar
Chinese military spending is carefully monitored by the United States. ~ Noam Chomsky
Military Spending quotes by Noam Chomsky
General Atomics, the progenitor of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, started life in 1955 when a major military contractor, General Dynamics, feared that the military hardware market might dry up. It began exploring peacetime uses of atomic energy, but abandoned the effort when cold-war military spending took off. ~ Charles Duhigg
Military Spending quotes by Charles Duhigg
The mythology of the Reagan presidency is that he induced the collapse of the Soviet Union by luring it into unsustainable military spending and wars: should there come a point when we think about applying that lesson to ourselves? ~ Glenn Greenwald
Military Spending quotes by Glenn Greenwald
The only way you can do that [decrease taxes, balance the budget, and increase military spending] is with mirrors ... ~ John B. Anderson
Military Spending quotes by John B. Anderson
Everybody supports the troops," Dime woofs, "support the troops, support the troops, hell yeah we're so fucking PROUD of our troops, but when it comes to actual money? Like somebody might have to come out of pocket for the troops? Then all the sudden we're on everybody's tight-ass budget. Talk is cheap, I got that, but gimme a break. Talk is cheap but money screams, this is our country, guys. And I fear for it. I think we should all fear for it. ~ Ben Fountain
Military Spending quotes by Ben Fountain
The compromises made with the rich are consistently out of line with public opinion. The public desires to tax the rich more heavily, cut military spending, and develop renewable energy alternatives to oil. The outcome instead is tax cuts for the rich, unchecked military spending, and a continued stagnation in alternatives to oil, gas, and coal. Both ~ Jeffrey D. Sachs
Military Spending quotes by Jeffrey D. Sachs
Does it sound outrageous to you that military spending for fiscal year 2000 will be almost $290 billion and all other domestic discretionary spending, such as education, job training, housing, Amtrak, medical research, environment, Head Start and many other worthwhile programs will total $246 billion, the biggest disparity in modern times ? ~ Dale Bumpers
Military Spending quotes by Dale Bumpers
Let us wage a moral and political war against the billionaires and corporate leaders, on Wall Street and elsewhere, whose policies and greed are destroying the middle class of America. ~ Bernie Sanders
Military Spending quotes by Bernie Sanders
We're going to have to raise revenues in some form or fashion, and we're going to have to cut spending, including entitlements of all kind, including the military. We all know this. Lets get on with it. ~ Douglas R. Oberhelman
Military Spending quotes by Douglas R. Oberhelman
World military spending has now risen to over $1.2 trillion. This incredible sum represents 2.5 per cent of GDP (global gross domestic product). Even if 1 per cent of it were redirected towards development, the world would be much closer to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. ~ Ban Ki-moon
Military Spending quotes by Ban Ki-moon
Spending on the military doesn't increase the deficit. ~ Ronald Reagan
Military Spending quotes by Ronald Reagan
In his first week on the throne, he vowed to make peace with all the nations we've ever warred with, cut military spending in half, funnel the money to education, and ... oh, yes, and phase out the empire itself, instating some ridiculous people's republic with elected officials. ~ Lindsay Buroker
Military Spending quotes by Lindsay Buroker
The only way to meet pressing social needs and be fiscally responsible is to cut the runaway Pentagon budget, which now almost equals the military spending of all other countries in the world combined. ~ Dennis Kucinich
Military Spending quotes by Dennis Kucinich
If you're worried about the deficit, pay attention to the fact that it's almost all attributable to military spending and the totally dysfunctional health program. ~ Noam Chomsky
Military Spending quotes by Noam Chomsky
One year of the world's military spending equals 700 years of the U.N. budget and equals 2,928 years of the U.N. budget allocated for women. ~ Zainab Salbi
Military Spending quotes by Zainab Salbi
When military men take over, honest men dance to the strings they pull.
Your life is no longer your own. ~ Howard Fast
Military Spending quotes by Howard Fast
The reality is that business and investment spending are the true leading indicators of the economy and the stock market. If you want to know where the stock market is headed, forget about consumer spending and retail sales figures. Look to business spending, price inflation, interest rates, and productivity gains. ~ Mark Skousen
Military Spending quotes by Mark Skousen
From spending ten years in hell and coming to this regime of kindness was a shock. It was so much of a shock, it was unbelievable. I was like an untamed animal, I couldn't accept it and I just wouldn't accept it. ~ Stephen Richards
Military Spending quotes by Stephen Richards
Instead of focusing on growing jobs and reigniting our economy, President Obama focused on growing government and tried to remake the United States into the image of the debt-laden countries of Europe. His approach has been more spending, more regulation, and higher taxes. ~ Rob Portman
Military Spending quotes by Rob Portman
Ut because of the systematic neglect of cancer research: There are not over two dozen funds in the U.S. devoted to fundamental cancer research. They range in capital from about $500 up to about $2,000,000, but their aggregate capitalization is certainly not much more than $5,000,000 ... The public willingly spends a third of that sum in an afternoon to match a major football game. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Military Spending quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Men love their ideas more than their lives. And the more preposterous the idea, the more eager they are to die for it. And to kill for it. ~ Edward Abbey
Military Spending quotes by Edward Abbey
The real threat to U.S. military power is nuclear proliferation, because if every little country has nuclear weapons it becomes very tricky for the United States to engage in military action. ~ Immanuel Wallerstein
Military Spending quotes by Immanuel Wallerstein
A woman of fortune being used the handling of money, spends it judiciously; but a woman who gets the command of money for the first time upon her marriage, has such a gust in spending it, that she throws it away with great profusion. ~ Samuel Johnson
Military Spending quotes by Samuel Johnson
Though thousand times a thousand in battle one may conquer, yet should one conquer just oneself, one is the greatest conqueror. ~ Gautama Buddha
Military Spending quotes by Gautama Buddha
Is it true that your last name is Goodend? Are you really a gay guy with the last name Goodend? Because if it is, man, that's like, totally freakin' awesome! ~ J.F. Smith
Military Spending quotes by J.F. Smith
If I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, 'Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead. And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.' ~ Bill O'Reilly
Military Spending quotes by Bill O'Reilly
If time is money, how much is a lifetime? ~ Ljupka Cvetanova
Military Spending quotes by Ljupka Cvetanova
In solitude, you see yourself in the mirror of you mind. If you love yourself, you will enjoy those moments as if you are spending time with a lovely friend. If you don't love yourself, you will feel as if you are spending time with a stranger. ~ Debasish Mridha
Military Spending quotes by Debasish Mridha
The dropping of the Atomic Bomb is a very deep problem ... Instead of commemorating Hiroshima we should celebrate ... man's triumph over the problem [of transmutation], and not its first misuse by politicians and military authorities. ~ Frederick Soddy
Military Spending quotes by Frederick Soddy
Spending too much time focused on others' strengths leaves us feeling weak. Focusing on our own strengths is what, in fact, makes us strong. ~ Simon Sinek
Military Spending quotes by Simon Sinek
Amazing how spending some money, especially when you haven't got it, can perk you up. ~ Jane Green
Military Spending quotes by Jane Green
German soldiers, posted as informers, were found dressed as peasants, even as peasant women. The latter were discovered, presumably in the course of non-military action, by their government issued underwear; but many were probably never caught, it being impossible, General Gourko regretfully admitted, to lift the skirts of every female in East Prussia. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Military Spending quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
Spending Smart is the only way to get out of debt and build wealth. That's a bold, but true, statement. It's like calories are the key to a weight-loss diet. It doesn't matter what the new diet fad is. A diet to lose weight only works if you burn more calories than you consume. Everything else is just window dressing and hype. ~ Gregory Karp
Military Spending quotes by Gregory Karp
Every month, the US is spending more on the Iraqi war than it took to reach Saturn and Titan. Mass murder is expensive, and good science is relatively cheap. ~ Caitlin R. Kiernan
Military Spending quotes by Caitlin R. Kiernan
When she first arrived, Mi-ran was impressed. The dormitories were modern and each of the four girls who would share one room had her own bed rather than use the Korean bed mats laid out on a heated floor, the traditional way of keeping warm at night while expending little fuel. But as winter temperatures plunged Chongjin into a deep freeze, she realized why it was that the school had been able to give her a place in its freshman class. The dormitories had no heating. Mi-ran went to sleep each night in her coat, heavy socks, and mitten with a towel draped over her head. When she woke up, the towel would be crusted with frost from the moisture of her breath. In the bathroom, where the girls washed their menstrual rags (nobody had sanitary napkins, so the more affluent girls used gauze bandages while the poor girls used cheap synthetic cloths), it was so cold that the rags would freeze solid within minutes of being hung up to dry. Mi-ran hated the mornings. Just as in Jun-sang's school, they were roused by a military-style roll call at 6:00 A.M., but instead of marching off like proud soldiers, they shivered into the bathroom and splashed icy water on their faces, under a grotesque canopy of frozen menstrual rags. ~ Barbara Demick
Military Spending quotes by Barbara Demick
For many Christ-followers, the Bible is a book of principles to show us how to live. No wonder we struggle to spend time in the Word - how excited are you about spending time reading a to-do list that's 1,500 pages long? When we view the Bible primarily as a book of principles for living, we miss the point. The point of the Bible is not principles but a Person. Jesus said in John 5:39, "These are the Scriptures that testify about me." He is the point. If our interaction with the Word isn't resulting in a deepening intimacy with Jesus, a deepening experience of His love and grace, we are missing something huge. ~ Alan Kraft
Military Spending quotes by Alan Kraft
I had the evidence that a crash did happen here ... Give this information to the young people of the world and this country ... They want it. Give it to them. Don't hide it and tell lies and make stories. They're not stupid ... It's their information. It doesn't belong to the Army or the Department of Defence. If it's classified, take the classification off and give it to them! ~ Philip J. Corso
Military Spending quotes by Philip J. Corso
A Christian is a military person, he fights the Lord's battles, he is Christ's ensignbearer. Now, what though he endures hard fate, and the bullets fly about? He fights for a crown! ~ Thomas Watson
Military Spending quotes by Thomas Watson
Hard pounding, gentlemen. Let's see who pounds the longest. ~ Duke Of Wellington
Military Spending quotes by Duke Of Wellington
The big problem for a democratic government - democrat with a small "d" - is how to hold down government spending. ~ Milton Friedman
Military Spending quotes by Milton Friedman
Gays have always been in the military. Alexander the Great was originally Alexander the Fabulous. A gay man invented C-rations. He claims he could never talk anyone into the cilantro garnish. Obviously, gays were not allowed to design the outfits, because we never would have stayed with the earth tones for so long. ~ Kate Clinton
Military Spending quotes by Kate Clinton
We'll set our approach to borrowing, to spending, to taxation, in a sensible way on a sensible timescale. ~ Douglas Alexander
Military Spending quotes by Douglas Alexander
God, she's beautiful. I mean, look at her. She's like a volcano going off - fierce and fiery and breathtaking. If she doesn't find a way to ugly herself down, I'm going to be spending an awful lot of time pissing her off. Which might not be such a bad thing in the end. Angry sex is awesome. ~ Emma Chase
Military Spending quotes by Emma Chase
My job is to give the president and secretary of defense military advice before they know they need it. ~ John W. Vessey, Jr.
Military Spending quotes by John W. Vessey, Jr.
America without her Soldiers would be like God without His angels. ~ Claudia Pemberton
Military Spending quotes by Claudia Pemberton
The war we are fighting today against terrorism is a multifaceted fight. We have to use every tool in our toolkit to wage this war - diplomacy, finance, intelligence, law enforcement, and of course, military power - and we are developing new tools as we go along. ~ Richard Armitage
Military Spending quotes by Richard Armitage
Highway spending, which I think most everybody says is badly needed in this country, creates American jobs, and also makes America more competitive. ~ Kent Conrad
Military Spending quotes by Kent Conrad
To place any dependence upon militia is assuredly resting upon a broken staff. Men just dragged from the tender scenes of domestic life, unaccustomed to the din of arms, totally unacquainted with every kind of military skill ... makes them timid and ready to fly from their own shadows. ~ George Washington
Military Spending quotes by George Washington
You must do your damdest and win. ~ George S. Patton
Military Spending quotes by George S. Patton
Was Cook's ship a scientific expedition protected by a military force or a military expedition with a few scientists tagging along? That's like asking whether your petrol tank is half empty or half full. It was both. The Scientific Revolution and modern imperialism were inseparable. People such as Captain James Cook and the botanist Joseph Banks could hardly distinguish science from empire. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Military Spending quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
She cannot imagine spending her life more comfortable when so many people are desperate and dying throughout our world. ~ Francis Chan
Military Spending quotes by Francis Chan
Canada Day comes and goes modestly every year. Sure, there are retail sales promotions and a long weekend. But there isn't bluster or commodity in Canadian celebration. Canada isn't big on bunting. Or jet flyovers, fireworks, marching bands or military pomp. ~ Rick Moranis
Military Spending quotes by Rick Moranis
