Our war economy: The current defense budget is now $858B, $45B more than Biden even asked for. The 7-35 fighter jet is a disaster but the program building it will continue & costs over $1.7T. Our defense economy is not about national security; it's about corporate profits

Defense industry oay dalaries buy parts materilas from other American compa ies that keep Americans working paying the rent. As a priority it may not be what it was. Healthcare climate change offer alternatives

That’s exactly what Dwight David Eisenhower warned about in his presidential farewell address to America. Corporations don’t care about America, they only care about profit and would relocate to any country to increase their profit potential.

If you divide the cost of the F-35 by households in the US that plane cost $14000 per household and it doesn't even work.
