The point is selective outrage.

You know what kills more people than terrorists? Hamburgers. Cigarettes. Cars. Police officers. But, our spending doesn't represent the level of threat associated with anything because the news paints it one way to serve their masters.

EXACTLY !

You're more likely to be killed by slipping in your own bathtub or struck by lightning than killed by terrorists.

You're more likely to be killed by your own police than terrorists. Yet "they" demand your taxes to fund their wars.

You're more like to be killed by alcohol than lions and tigers and bears and sharks combined, oh my.

You can be a person that does not even drink, and still get killed by alcohol.
