I always find it confusing why people think it's the govenrment's obligation to protect the people from military attack, but not from anything else. If people die from starvation, lack of health care, poisoning, in a car accident, in an unsafe workplace, etc. -- none of that should be the government's concern. But for the 0.000001% of the people who die from terrorism -- for that tiny tiny tiny percentage, we should spend 50+% of our tax money on that concern.

Yeah, that makes tons of sense.
