Why can we find money to fight wars in other countries but can't find money to educate our kids, fix our roads, fund our libraries, help seniors with their healthcare costs?
Absolutely not!!! We do not have a good record of replacing those we do not like. e.g. Pinochet; Hussein; ISIS getting the weapons we gave to the Syrians, etc. We need to get rid of McCain and Miss Lindsay...we all know they are war hawks and really do not care who gets killed or the cost. This country does not know how to act without a war going on.
All those programs that you mentioned are socialists programs, Republicans would rather support the military-industrial complex instead. Seems crazy that is more profitable in killing people and destroying cities and factories than it is to promote the general welfare of Americans, which is mentioned in the Constitution United States of America, crazy isn’t it.

From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
—Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
—Robert Greenwald, political activist and founder and president of Brave New Films
The united states of suckers. We fall for it every time. Fear is our motivator.

And our corporate media loves to keep it going.
