RE: Why does the government hate poor people?

in #government6 years ago

If we cut our Defense Budget to just 5% that is $35 billion, we could build houses to those homeless people, having $700 billion defense budget is more than enough, but yet they choose helping foreign countries to wage war against their neighbors and refuse to help their own problem domestically. That's why American people are compose mostly of a meddle class and it will shrink to poor class just a matter of time if they choose to continue waging war outside the country.

Sort:  

We've got to be careful about that defense budget. The US military is the de facto military for many of our allies. Globalism made it that way. If we can pull back globalist military policy so other countries can be responsible for their own security, I'd be happy to see a reduction in the defense budget -- by large percentage! And take care of things at home. But we can't just leave allies defenseless, either.

If all the funds spent to bring down Ghadhaffi in Libya and waging war in Syria is spent on the American people for better living. More jobs and homes will be built to take people off the street. Reason we need men like @Adamskokesh to make America Great again

if we had 350 billion to play with (say we cut the defense budget in half) we could fund tuition free college forever, we could probably solve our housing crisis, fund universal healthcare, and probably fix our entire education system.
