I need someone to explain to me why we can afford a $740,000,000,000 military budget, but we can not afford to pay people to stay home to contain Covid. Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Okay. “Andrea, you know when sometimes that little boy in kindergarten takes all the toys for himself and doesn’t let anybody else play with them? He shouldn’t do that, honey, and you don’t want to ever ever ever be that way OK?”

No, the military industrial defense contractors & not the military itself. Our defense budget is hundreds of billions of dollars above what the military says they need.

Good distinction; military folks generally make less than the poverty line and are constantly in need of resources, whereas the military industrial complex is flush with money (and isn't used as a political pawn like military personnel is, i.e. Support the Troops™️)
