The military industrial complex gets far too much of what it wants, while the people get far too little of what they need.

We've given $740,000,000,000 to the military this year but we can't get the Senate to approve more than $1,200 for people trying to survive a pandemic.

So go vote for Joe Biden. He already promised to increase defense spending... wait you mean that actually goes against what you claim to believe is right? Weird.

The military and our defense deserve to get what they need. The military industrial complex does not & is not the same thing. MIC R policy makers> the president & congress who R influenced & bought by industry who make weapons & equipment & need war 2 profit!!!

I talk about a way to tackle this issue in my book, 'Democratizing Wall Street.'

There are 550k homeless people tonight in the United States divided by $740b is $1.345.454.55 per homeless person. Yes that does seem to be a little excessive when we could easily solve other problems with that money

The current members of Congress are afraid of the Military Industrial Complex ... they are afraid of their power ... their money ... and the jobs they have created in almost every State in the Union ... We have given them to much!
