Plain and simple?
The Democrats and The Republicans BOTH support the military-industrial-corporate complex.

Did you ever see anyone hold up a defense budget from going through except to add to it?

All anyone has to say is &quot;terrorism&quot; and right after the big change of underwear, they throw more money down the &quot;defense&quot; toilet.

And the need for that 1.3 trillion dollar waste is all based on lies.

They ALL know that it is lies. They don't care. They all go along to get their bribe money, to be sure that their party will nominate them again.

This is what this country has become.

AND.....They never cut war spending.
They cut what the poor and middle class need to fund the military in order to maintain the status quo in the world for the wealthy owners of the country.

They don't let us vote on those decisions. EVER.

Agreed H_O and the U.S control of the world's governments and its enforcement of capitalism on the Third World serves the purposes of the elite of the country and the Military Industrial Corporate Complex which they also run.

By keeping us terrified of &quot; Islamic Jihadists&quot; who are out to kill all Americans or any other handy enemy they can create, demonize and make an imminent threat.


Think about it for just a moment and you have to realize that a few thousands of Al-Qaeda or Taliban do not warrant a 1.2 trillion dollar war budget nor stealth bombers nor nuclear weapons nor nuclear attack subs.

Those sorts and amounts of weapons are needed to control an economic empire, much of the planet by threat or force.

Do you remember ever getting to vote on this stuff?
Has your Senator or Representative or your President ever asked you what YOU thought about the 1/.2 trillion dollar imperial war budget?.

This IS a democracy isn't it?

The Vietnam War was the biggest 'business' in America at that time, worth 80 billion dollars.
No different to what's happening today in iraq, afghanistan and possibly other countries soon.
