What you say is hardly serving 'Heaven'

Don't argue meaningless technicalities. Those are all examples of social programs, and they do not even include ALL the social programs.

That was not a meaningless technicality, it was based on exactly how different sets of programs are categorized by the government as opposed to you personally, which the chart made very clear. You are interpreting things your own way just as you interpret the overall wealth of a nation based upon how much of it the tiny capitalist class has control over.

Social spending dwarfs military spending, PERIOD.

Going by your broad definition of social programs, the U.S. military is still incredibly bloated, and surpasses all other nations' military expenditures combined. The amount of spending on social programs in the U.S. that includes medical spending is still considerably less than other nations. There are also many limits set out by who can receive these programs compared to other nations, particularly in regards to medical spending, which is why it was categorized separately in that chart. You're trying to combine different things under the rubric of "social programs" to artificially enhance your point, which does not refute mine: social spending in the U.S. is very meager compared to the social democratic nations, and the military spending incredibly bloated by comparison.
