A couple years ago, I heard that the cost of eliminating world hunger was $30 billion a year. US "defense" spending is at $700 billion currently I believe. And lol @ using the word defense, when it none of it takes place on US soil...everything is initiating offence on foreign soil.
Not sure how many people aren't getting adequate food and water, but one year without making guns, bombs, tanks and fighter jets...would give approximately 23 years of food and clean water...and probably a sustainable infrastructure that could provide it for even longer (water filtration + farming infrastructure). But who needs that when you have the mother of all bombs?

This man fathered a total of 56 children by 22 wives. Who's going to feed all those beautiful babies?
See? That's what's wrong with America. We need slavery, not taxes.
The kids could be sold as slaves to some man, woman or family. In return for their support, they could go to school and work light jobs. Then, as they grew and became strong, they could work themselves out of their slavery, paying back their owners for raising them.
That's better than forcing society to raise them.
Of course, we would need laws to keep the owners from abusing their slaves. But child labor like this would produce some very smart, ingenious, hard working, future entrepreneurs... just because the kids would be in the form of, fight life or die.
