it has done necessary stuff. but at the moment it does not. for the past decade its wars have cost over a trillion dollars and hundreds of thousand if not over a million lives in iraq and afghanistan not to mention millions of refugees. the us' military budget is the highest it has been since WWII and for what? why is that much money needed now? if there were extensive budget cuts then the country could easily afford subsidizing healthcare and education for example, something that would benefit US citizens and the rest of the world much more than purchasing and testing new weapons.
