ENDING SUPPORT FOR ALL ILLEGAL WARS WOULD HELP PAY FOR FREE MEDICAL AND HIGHER EDUCATION, AND MORE, FOR ALL IN US

First let us examine the level of the US military budget.

“The United States spends more on national defense than China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, Germany, France, South Korea, Japan, and Ukraine — combined. While the chart above illustrates last year’s defense spending in dollar terms, the United States has also historically devoted a larger share of its economy to defense than many of its key allies.

Defense spending accounts for 12 percent of all federal spending and nearly half of discretionary spending. Total discretionary spending — for both defense and non-defense purposes — is typically only about one-third of the annual federal budget. It is currently below its historical average as a share of GDP and is projected to decline further.” https://www.pgpf.org/chart-archive/0053_defense-comparison

When adding China's and Russia's spending, we get about $378 Billions, that is, the US spends $499 Billions more than these countries together. Right there, we have money that could be used to solve homeland problems. Added to this, the US spent approximately $78 Billions, so far, for the Ukraine proxy war against Russia. In addition, the US provides annually Billions of US dollars for Israel, Egypt and others, most of it is for military spending.

If the US were swimming in non-borrowed cash, and all domestic social needs, including infrastructure had been met (no person goes hungry to bed, or has to sleep in a car or under a bridge, etc,), then one could understand humanitarian aid to other countries, however, never at the expense of the US citizenry. For the current US debt level, which is approaching $34 Trillion, follow this link.  https://www.truthinaccounting.org/about/our_national_debt?gclid=CjwKCAiA9dGqBhAqEiwAmRpTC6I3cd9sCTVfW6yRq46t3TgYOZY7LND6tMgfOVrn5FS06M5ynnkkExoCTywQAvD_BwE

California has started a program, which provides free healthcare, for everyone regardless of citizenship status. “Health Care for All – California believes that every resident of California should be guaranteed affordable, comprehensive, high quality health care. A single-payer financing system has succeeded in countries throughout the developed world. Multiple findings illustrate that people in these countries have better health and enjoy a lifestyle free of anxiety and worry about how to pay for a health crisis. All of this is accomplished at a lower cost to the people and businesses.” https://healthcareforall.org/

If California manages to afford such a program, why not the US federal Government? Is it because the Federal Government is wasting to much borrowed money on military actions that violate the US Constitution?

Higher education for anyone meeting educational standards, and wishing to earn a degree in any worthwhile discipline, should be given the opportunity to do so, without assuming a massive debt because of it.

If US households would run their finances like the US Government does, they all be bankrupt. The Government's spending, like a drunken sailor, shows a very low IQ, or a willingness to destroy this and future generations, for personal gain.

THE QUESTION IS, WHY ARE WE ALLOWING THIS?

We need a plan.

The politicians have managed to divide and conquer us, for a very long time, by following the example of Julius Cesar. To them we are known as Democrats, Republicans and Liberals, and in so doing they have managed to breakup a powerful voting block, the Citizenry, into manageable single-minded, easily influenced groups, ready to accept whatever bullshit they hand out. Yes, life is good for them, all they have to do is, concentrate on building their war-chest of money, which allows them to character assassinate their opponent, at election time. Where is this money coming from? Powerful very rich Benefactors (corporations and investors) have plans of their own, they need politicians to make laws that respect their requirements. From where get these benefactors their enormous wealth? The symbiotic relationship between the rich and the politicians is the answer, whereby the politicians help their benefactors to extract wealth from the economy, at the expense of the Citizenry, and in return the benefactors provide war-chest money for the politicians' election or reelection campaign. It is that simple.  Also, this is why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

By now, almost everyone should be familiar with the power of the Internet and their cell phones, for research and communication purposes. These tools instead of dividing us, can help us to reunite, thus forming a formidably voting block, more powerful than the bribes of the rich and powerful.

More and more we experience the fact that the so-called opposing politicians are actually part of a Uni- party because they have worked together for a long time, under the table, against our interests. Unconstitutional harmful spending can only happen within a Uni-Party; it is strictly them against us.

Now, the time has come to turn the table on them, by creating unity of all Citizen of good will, in order to save our country from moral and economic ruin. Let us use technology (internet and cell phones) to talk with and listen to our brothers and sisters, who love the US, and are not out to destroy it.

The first step is to share this message with all your families, friends and neighbors. Then start a respectful conversation, be patient, change is never easy. Maybe we have to select a write-in candidate for President, for sure we cannot vote for these over-the-hill senile useless power hungry individuals, who should have been retired, a long time ago. The US needs capable younger mature talents, who respect the Constitution. Why should it take one billion dollars to run for President, a sure invitation for corruption?

It has to start now, the time for kicking the can down the road is over; if you don't do it for yourself, do it for the next generations, they will thank you.

Together we are stronger than all the corrupt money in banks and financial institutions. We can make the politicians listen to us and only us, the electorate!
