Food for thought:

Nuclear warheads out there:
Russia: 8500
USA: 7700
France: 300
China: 240
UK: 225
Pakistan: 120
India: 110
Israel: 80
N.Korea: 10 and probably less than that.

US. spends 35% of total global military spending of $1.6T: $590B in 2017; 639B this yr; $681B next year.

US: 11 aircraft carriers; 12th, named after Pres Ford, to cost over $13B. A slight cost over-run.

Hunger in America:
1 in 6 of us is hungry, or "food insecure." One. In. Six.

17.5m households, about 48.8m fellow Americans, are "food insecure" meaning they wonder where their next meal is coming from.

Over 13m children go to school hungry every day.

Some 2.5m US children, are homeless.

Our four electrical grids will cost us $5T to replace/upgrade. That's five trillions.

Now, think about our interstate roads, bridges, train tracks. Think about cleaning up our polluted waterways.

We are in our 17th year of war in Afghanistan, bodies still coming home, no end in sight. Our president wants to form a Space Army. Only wants about $20B to get started. Last time I checked our national debt was in the trillions.

Would one of you please explain all this?

Our Declaration of Independence set as a goal, for all of us, to be able to Pursue Happiness. Doesn't seem to me we are on the right track as a society, at all.

Eisenhower was right.

The last time Congress declared war was Dec 8, 1941. Look up the long list of nations we have invaded/fought against since. How I do not know. What in the hell, is going on?

Shame on all of us, for voting the way we have over these last 78 years, for not paying attention to our govt, our neighbors, our fellow citizens.
