What if every country in the world were run by a group of people in the Government who have managed to live half of their lives on incomes less than per-capita-income of that given country?

Ponder over the budget crisis in the US and Europe after all that "spend baby spend" spree. At the end of the day, the money for all the social programs has to be funded from some source with some FINITE feasibility, Right?
Instead of building more army barracks at every region and feeding/housing those additional voracious eaters, wouldn't it be more cost effective to require military training for all medically-qualified Nepali youth and build a "on-call" reserve? (If "on-call", then I guess we need to provide cell-phones to all those trained fighters).
On the other hand, say we increased the army manpower, then what if India fires that "Agni" missile at us? Then, are we going to respond with the only "Hagni" missile we have?

Believe me diplomacy is less expensive than war and I know that for a fact. I think we should rather build partnership with India, China and others and battle global warming, women-trafficking, terrorism, malnutrition, hunger, depravity, illiteracy, child labor, baby-delivery-labor, etc. With the fast globalizing world, the made-made national borders have lesser meaning with every ticking of time.
