 I am ignorant as to how much currency has be spent on the military and how many Solar Panels and how many Electric Cars could have been created instead. I am ignorant because the military spent the money and the military didn't invest the money.

I do know that One Air Craft Carrier and One Nuclear Missile ADDS further costs while one Solar Panel and One Electric Car subtracts costs i.e. the cost of electricity and the cost of gasoline that are costs spent by individuals producers of wealth.

Furthermore:

One Air Craft Carrier and One Nuclear Missile cost much more than One Solar Panel and One Electric Car. One Air Craft Carrier (which can now be taken out with one missile from any of a number of potential enemies who do not like American Aggressive Invasion of their homes), One Air Craft Carrier cost nearly one million times the cost of one Solar Panel, or more, and therefore the same expense spent on One Air Craft Carrier (obsolete in modern warfare), is WORTH, at least ONE MILLION SOLAR PANELS.

One Air Craft Carrier employs a number of people in the construction, distribution, maintenance, and utilization of One Air Craft Carrier. One Million Solar Panels employ a number of people in the construction, distribution, maintenance, and utilization of One Million Solar Panels.

One Air Craft Carrier (if it isn’t taken out with one missile) can spread democracy, ooops, I mean death and destruction far and wide and create even more jobs in reconstructing all the destruction that is spread by One Air Craft Carrier, and, so can a Hurricane – foreigners get man made destruction and reconstruction (minus millions of lives), and domestic populations get to keep their One Air Craft Carrier, the jobs that go with it, and the new jobs overseas. The victims of natural (or man made if the global warming data is accurate) hurricanes at home get to move (minus thousands of lives) and search for new jobs, new homes, in foreign lands (foreign to them).

One Million Solar Panels can empower thousands of people with the power of self-sufficiency and free electricity, having, the unique ability to create more Solar Panels which could conceivably spread like democracy from individual to individual until the whole of American is empowered with Solar Panels, at which time, electricity runs like water, cleaner water since less power is being generated by coal burning and uranium burning and oil burning electric plants, and having that over abundance of independent power sources could conceivably spread over seas, in the form of Solar Panels for whatever foreigners agree to pay for Solar Panels, including oil, if we still want oil, since, Electric Cars could conceivably eliminate our ‘so called’ addiction to oil.

One Air Craft Carrier redirected into One Million Solar Panels has the capacity to spread independent power generation around the Globe. One Million Solar Panels redirected into One MORE Air Craft Carrier has the capacity to spread nuclear fallout around the Globe.

One path is an investment. The other path is ‘saving’, er, 'spending'.

What matters, I guess, is the pair of shades propped up in front of your eyes.
