(12,155 posts)How do we achieve those goals we say we want with endless wars and bottomless military budgets? The last military budget was over a trillion dollars. The next is expected to be at least $1.5 trillion dollars. The next after that? Maybe $2 trillion dollars.
I'm no longer allowing myself to be gaslighted by people telling me we don't have the money for Medicare for All or NIH funding or VA funding while we always seem to have money for the military and war.
Nope. If a candidate intends to vote for supplemental funding for Iran war than that candidate will not not get my vote in favor of one that will not do that.
If a candidate favors voting in favor of bottomless military budgets than that candidate doesn't get my vote. I'll vote for someone that wants less military spending, not more. We cannot keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.
