A Modest Proposal

Our country still maintains a nuclear arsenal capable of blowing up the inhabited world one hundred times. As a patriotic American, this fills me with pride.
Still, with a presidential election on the horizon, I would like to offer a modest proposal to those seeking our highest office:
Would it be possible to reduce this stockpile to a level capable of destroying the world only fifty times and put the savings into a national health-care plan?
I realize that this is a radical idea. Please believe me, I am no extremist or whining malcontent. I am not a Communist, a terrorist, nor a vegetarian.
I am just a simple American taxpayer who dreams of a world he can blow up fifty times while still being able to see a dentist.
Thank you.
