Weapon manufacturers can pay a few guys to send some suicide idiots, so the richest side buys all the merchandise.
So, you think you can buy them? Do you have evidence that suicide bombers can be bought? You can support them, but you can't buy them. Where they hit and when they stop is always outside your control - and also outside the control of the strategists of terror. But that is a minor problem for them.
No, it is your own fallacy to call that observation an "argument ad hominem".
You often enough use your own invented biography to begin "argument by authority" ("I found an error in the current economic model and was acknowledged for it"), but you fail to see even very simple economic processes inside the USA with a rational mind.
When you use argument by authority, and people demote this authority, it is not "ad hominem". It is called "return to reality." Let's answer your constant and fact-free USA-Bashing with some of your own medicine.
What can the USA improve with more money for education? The USA have already one of the highest education spending. And that only for state funded schools, the economy also supports private schools. But the USA are still running pretty bad in international comparison studies? How does that fit into your world? Would more money per student improve the education? If that theory is true, the USA should be having the best and brightest people on this planet.
The USA could need more funding for infrastructure, but that infrastructure is not maintained by the state. The USA are no communist country. Compared to other countries (especially your own, Costa Rica) the USA have a very high spending for infrastructure per km².
Is the military spending of the USA high? Sure it is. But compared to other countries and how large the military funding as fraction of the national budget, the USA are actually pretty modest. The USA are a large country and can spend of lot of money. But they don't pay 66% of the national budget for the military, like many african or asian countries.
I know that Costa Rica has no military... but who will Costa Rica call, when for example Venezuela invades it?
Also, do you know how many state monopolies Costa Rica has? You don't even have free communication. You have to rely on a government agency to talk to somebody else. No free commercial banks, no free insurance companies, you don't even have a electricity market.
And so is the economic situation in Costa Rica. You think the USA have it bad now? Costa Rica has a 5% economic growth on the paper, which is eaten by the runaway inflation in your country. Your money is running out, and as far as I can tell about it, mostly by the fact that your country has no working market in any industry. Most money gets drained inside ineffective government agencies.
The 5% economic growth come from foreign companies, who sell their products outside Costa Rica. 20% of the 50 billion GDP of Costa Rica is produced by only one Intel factory. Which does not produce for Costa Rica. It just takes advantage of the large offerings, the Costa Rican government makes for foreign companies, the low salaries, which come the fact the government well-fare system pays the rest of the Bill.
So, how do you estimate your own countries situation compared to the USA? As far as I can tell from your own posts, it does exactly implement what you suggest. No military funding, lot's of government agencies replacing markets and even full government control of the finance sector.
What will happen to your country, when the US citizens become too poor to afford travel to Costa Rica and bring money into the country as tourists (which is, as far as I know, the only profitable sector of your economy. Your agricultural sector is only a small contribution). The money drain of your country would even increase, how can you stop it?
What will happen to the stability of your country, when money really runs out? How many years do you think, is your country away from hyperinflation?
Isn't it cool to see your medicine being tested in reality? Now, tell me, how is your estimate - does it fail because the medicine is actually a toxine or will you pretent, that the medicine is all right, but it is just the world economic model, which is the reason why Costa Rica spents more money as it owns?
