you are not qualified. sorry
I think we should decrease the defense budget by at least 20 percent.
As president I would close (which the president can do unilaterally) military bases in several countries.
I would establish a U.S. Dept. of Peace.
Our Sec. of Defense would not be a former member of Raytheon, nor would he or she be a military general.
I do not give the U.S. war machine a pass.

Qualified to do what, exactly?
Let’s look at the things all those “qualified people”
have given us:
The Iraq war.
Spectacular failure in Afghanistan.
The highest poverty rate in the advanced world.
A higher rate of chronic illness than any other advanced democracy.
An overmedicated, chronically anxious, financially stressed majority.
Children praying not to get shot at school.
Opportunities and rights shrinking for women, transgender, immigrants seeking asylum, librarians and teachers, youth trying to get educated, people trying to buy homes, and workers trying to organize.
Those “qualified” to get us into this mess not necessarily qualified to get us out of it.
