Definitely on the wrong path.

Yep. And Americans have no idea the price they will pay for it. Greed, decadence, and corruption all go hand-in-hand.

The last period in American history not considered wartime was 1961. It lasted 6 years. We must bring the MIC to heel. We already far surpass every other nation. If we don't divert funds soon, it will be problems at home that will defeat us - not imagined threats far from home.

We need to support Ukraine. Glad Biden hasn't sent our men and women to fight but Putin needs to stop

Listen to Rev Barber’s talk this evening calling for cease fire as happened in WW1 on Christmas. He talks about this budget too

Have you seen what China and Russia not to mention. Ortho Korea are doing? Also the waves of crime in this country. Maybe that give some insight as to why that is

We spend about 14% of the total US budget on defense. You are only comparing it to discretionary spending leaving out the vast majority of spending which goes for in part to Medicare, Medicaid and Social security
