On Waste

I was just surfing TV channels and end up in the Democratic debate going on in South Carolina. . . and the next dude who starts talking about using "our military strength" is definitely not going to get my vote. It seems to me that a presidential election is about who's the most "Macho Man" who can flex the military muscle the most.

Stop wasting money in the military and start spending money on people: us, the fucking people that pay those taxes! No more money going towards more nukes, ultra-intelligent bombs and billion dollar warplanes. The world doesn't need another aircraft carrier, nor another nuclear powered submarine carrying a ton of nuclear weapons. Let's slice a big chunk of the money that goes towards new weapons and put that money into helping people in everyday life.

Where would we be today if instead of spending half a trillion dollars in the military machine we use it towards peaceful purposes?

I agree, and imagine what that money could do if it went to healthcare.
