“If you want to go bomb somebody, there’s remarkably little discussion over how much it might cost, but when you have a discussion about whether or not we can assist suffering people, then suddenly we become very cost conscious…”
– Andrew J. Bacevich, Historian, Boston University
The military industrial complex is nothing more than a huge jobs program, Congress people don’t want constituents to lose defense contractor jobs, but healthcare for all would create more jobs everywhere, not just where defense contractors are
So depressing. Priorities here are not right.
