Debt is a trap, especially student debt, which is enormous, far larger than credit card debt. It's a trap for the rest of your life because the laws are designed so that you can't get out of it. If a business, say, gets in too much debt, it can declare bankruptcy, but individuals can almost never be relieved of student debt through bankruptcy.Noam Chomsky

The U.S. is just in a class by itself in military expenses. It basically matches the rest of the world, and it's far more advanced.Noam Chomsky
