America needs to start spending far more money on ways to improve people’s lives (schools, peace) & far less on ways to destroy people’s lives (prisons, war). That perversion of our values, codified in public policy for no other reason than profit, must be challenged & rejected.

Our greatest source of wealth-creation is the creativity and productivity of the American people. Therefore anything that allows people greater access to the realization of their own potential - healthcare, education, culture - should be seen as a boost not a suck on our economy.

We need to change more than policy; we need to change paradigm. Switch from improving the economy as a way to improve humanity’s lot, to improving humanity’s lot as a way to improve the economy AND improve humanity. We need to shift from an economic to a humanitarian bottom line.

We spend 53 cents of every dollar on defense related expenditures, while far more economic prosperity derives from investment in education and infrastructure. Same skills and expertise can be transitioned and repurposed! That is the shift from a war economy to a peace economy.

Younger generations of Americans have never experienced a time when we were not at war, normalizing what is in fact an aberrational state of humanity.

Yesterday we honored our veterans. Today there is no greater honor we could show them than to disenthrall ourselves of the illusion that constant war preparedness is our best and only path to peace. We cannot prepare for war enough that we will simply back up into peace.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.” - Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme commander of Allied Forces in World War II, 34th President of US

Today is Veterans Day and my thoughts are with those who served. What they went through, and what they’re going through now, should be on every American’s mind... facebook.com/williamsonmaria…

This is a very pregnant moment in American history. On one hand some things are terrible; there’s no doubt about that. On the other hand, so many people have now gotten a taste of serious governmental malfunction that there’s an openness to fundamental repair and a new beginning.

From environmental toxins to dangerous pesticides to carcinogens in food to contaminants in water, we’re poisoning ourselves so corporate interests can increase profits and not worry about all those pesky health and safety regulations. This needs to STOP. marianne2020.com/issues/food
