1011: Why Does America Spend So Much on the Military?

Is America’s military budget really “out of control”… or is the truth more complicated? Politicians love to throw around numbers, pundits love to yell about cuts or increases, and regular folks are left scratching their heads wondering if we’re going broke funding endless wars. But what if the whole conversation is missing the real story?
Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS
In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we pull back the curtain on U.S. defense spending with economist Agustin Forzani. We dig into what the numbers actually show, why both the left and right mislead when they talk about the Pentagon’s budget, and how much of this is smoke and mirrors meant to protect the military-industrial complex.
We’ll cover the myths around “flat” budgets, the hidden billions tucked into massive bills, and how America’s defense reach has doubled since the 1990s. But it’s not just about money — it’s about how this spending impacts your freedoms at home, from militarized police to surveillance creeping into everyday life.
And here’s the kicker: Agustin argues that the biggest threat isn’t just dollars wasted overseas, but the way unchecked spending erodes liberty here at home. If you care about the future of America’s economy, your freedoms, and whether our kids inherit debt or opportunity, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.
Stick around for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges the talking points and asks the hard question: are we protecting America… or mortgaging its future?
