What I said was that Conservatives like the present arrangements because they are high profit. Drugs, for instance, with artificially high prices are wonderful. Armaments, the same.

And Conservatives don't like expanding health care because money which would be spent on very high profit items will go into people and materials without a profit margin for them.

I said that Conservatives are resisting the modernization of the military because the money to make the military better able to handle insurgencies will come out of the super-whiz-bang stuff which is nice to see on the 4th of July and of limited use the rest of the year.

The government of the United States should spend more on health care for it's citizens than on the military. The US is not threatened in any meaningful way, and would be threatened less if it would stop meddling with other countries, cultures, religions and societies.
