We spend over $900 Billion a year to make sure we can wage war, but our State Department gets $40 Billion a year to even try to wage peace.

The US state department has nothing to do with peace.

We spend 1 trillion dollars a year for the consequences of childhood poverty, on the back end, of course. If we spent a fraction of that ending childhood poverty on the front end, we wouldn’t have to pay for those results - i suggest we go to our defense budget for funds

USA is a profit driven nation, peace does not bring them gains war does.

The peace department will warm the hearts of the enemy before the gates
