Maybe that's why they're called Think Tanks

They spend another $200 billion creating the bogeymen they need to be seen defending us against. They are after our way of life!!11!!

This video is from 1992. Bernie has been speaking out against this for many years. Those of you who think he sounds like Obama, I never even heard of Obama until before he was elected. I am no fan of American politics. But I am a veteran and a patriot and I agree with what he said here 100%

I'm not quit as pissed as you, but agree he sounds a lot like Obama when he was running for office. Both times.

Here a step by step book on how it would effect congress: Become president --> State things in public about plans --> World observes views --> sheeples are aware of issue being dealt with --> are more likely to contact their reprisentatives.

And even if this fails, there is more awareness. Which makes it more likely for people react.

Trump is pro military expansion. I would love to see these two debate this topic.

This reminds me of that cartoon with Uncle Sam saying "I have more nukes than all and I'm still insecure".

THIS. You want to finance universal tuition or universal healthcare? Then we need to stop the war machine. People talk about how much "Welfare" or "Illegal immigrants" cost us, without blinking at trillion dollar wars which accomplish nothing.

"Todd Harrison, a Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments analyst" is not the Army. But even if we go with that, since I've heard it before, it still doesn't mean that the Army doesn't want or need the Abrams.

We're spending $7 million a pop on the Abrams tank, a vehicle that the Army neither wants nor needs

We don't want tanks? We don't need tanks? We have a better tank that Congress refuses to buy?

Yeah, and you wanna know why we don't face any major military threat? I suppose Russia's warmongering doesn't mean anything. Better to have B-2s whose very existence means you don't need to use them, than not have them and wish you did. They're not exactly something you just pull out of your ass in a week if a real war breaks out.

Technically, either option would help the economy as it is now... but... that's none of my business
