Billions $$ for what??

The straight lines in the sky show the re-entry of an American multiple warhead missile re-entry during a test. These missiles are designed to destroy numerous targets with one missile. Over the years America has spent trillions on weapons such as this without ever asking why such weapons are necessary.
America is in such serious financial shape that prosperous states such as California are giving IOU's to various suppliers because they cannot pay their bills but the military budget continues to increase.
This test was conducted in the South Pacific because America regards this area as their private nuclear and missile testing area.
