A government has a responsibility to its citizens to ensure their safety. Therefore, some people think that government should increase spending on defense but spend less on social benefits. To what extent you agree?

In the modern days, it has become very important for every

to protect its borders.

This

However

Therefore

can stand on one of them, but needs both. Every government needs to find a perfect balance of fund division among the sectors of defence and social benefits.
