Our "defensive" budget is offensive in every sense of the word.

Don’t forget: gerrymandering, the DNC, the RNC, the Oligarchs, NeoCons, NeoLibs, the MIC………..

That’s the truth. The weapon systems don’t have to work. The #Military procurement system is a subsidy for Defense Contractors. “With a sticker price of around $100 million per plane, … the F-35 is not a low-cost, lightweight fighter.” forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/20…

That's not the worst part. You can't vote on something where no choice is given. Our democracy is flawed on many levels, but none worse than plurality FPTP voting which only allows for two parties to exist. 2nd worst is campaign financing / lobbying 3rd worst is suppression

Blame it on the self deceptive, self destructive, racially & politically segregated, power seeking, fear based human ego!

Dems are center right. they run left in the primaries, & center is the general but governs center right. A majority in congress from both parties are in agreement on most things. They manipulate credit & blame to the benefit of both parties. Division = viewers & donations

Our congress needs to stop all funding to DOD until they successfully find missing 21 Trillion dollars. This is outrageous, not a single person talks about it anymore.

I'm not a member of Congress ... But ... Why couldn't we hold the Congress hostage ... Pass the Voting Rights Act ... or ... we won't pass this additional 25 billion dollar add on to the defense budget ... use this bill as leverage?

The greatest threat to our "democracy" is the criminal cabal in charge. You know that Marianne.

I guess that extra 25 billion is what is needed to prevent the Capital from being stormed again
