Just seems like America has the potential to do really good things with their large amounts of money but it is more often then not used to increase their own economic wealth and kill countless innocent people in wars that have alterior motives.

First of all, the US wouldn't be the only nation not to spend a trillion dollars on their military(not war).
Second, the US does not have a public system of health care, therefore the comparison between Canada(which does have a public system) is invalid.
Third, innocent people always die in war, and the US certainly does not kill innocent people by spending more money on their military. By expanding their military, and increasing the funding, I would say the US has greatly reduced the amount of innocent civilians being killed.
And lastly, just because innocent people die in wars certainly does not entail that the war is carried out based on alterior motives. And since you're not referring to Iraq, then neither am I.
