You might have done better citing the Germans. The French, and the Brits, pay their own way. Even more to the point, the Swedes, who are neutral, spend more as a percentage of GDP than we do, but they seem to be able to fund entitlements just fine.
I think we need to shut down the MIC and redirect the funds myself. And here's a good one. Here's a list of Senators who've whored themselves out to Big Pharma.
