Security is most highest priority in every country but To nurture a secure nation, federal spending must be balanced among military defense and programs that provide economic security, such as education and health care . A worthy portion of any country 's budget is spent on defence . To some extent it is not a good idea for us to spend money on defending ourselves from imaginary enemies.
