“War profiteering used to be considered a crime—Now it’s an industry.” Marianne Williamson

Seriously flawed.

Everyone votes for these defense bills because they are afraid of being labeled ... "Unpatriotic" ... FEAR ... is a very powerful motivator!

This song/video "WE KNOW THEY LIED" exposes the corruption of our ruling class. It deserves a RT. youtube.com/e4_oSycHBCM

The goal is to sell weapons, we need to change the goal.

I agree, but I wish you understood that the people behind the climate agenda are corrupt as well. Centralized government is corrupt and the centralized global climate agenda sounds virtuous, but it will kill as many people around the world as our corrupted defense budget will.

When it comes to defense spending, I always ask to fight who?

Our militarism and the monies flowing through it are so excessive as to have a huge negative impact on our personal and business cultures as well as our politics.

then only thing they can agree on is more for the military budget and yet they do not take care of our soldiers

When the only viable & real enemy is climate change, and the Frankenstein called late stage neoliberal capitalism that is destroying more lives and killing more people than any imaginary bogeyman ever could. America's greatest enemy is ourselves, but $840 billion to fight ghosts.
