Doug Bandow made some mistakes but I like his opinions.

Change the Defense Dept back to its original name - Department of War. So much of what we’re currently blowing “defense” money on doesn’t have anything to do with “defending “ America. Who controls easternUkraine , eg , has no impact on your life or mine , much less the “defense” of America - yet Biden and McConnell can’t stop sending our tax money over there. They’re engaged in WAR not DEFENSE. And war that we have no national interest in

Our interest payments to China finance their military, right?

Well I am pretty sure I’m not in favor of using up our weapons and military men on campaigns not vital to the direct national security interests of the country.

Most of those folks didn’t join the military to serve as other nations cannon fodder. Defending OUR country is one thing. Defending everyone else and mega corporations interests abroad, is not constitutional.

I have been talking about this subject for years. As the interest payments explode due to rising interest rates these politicians will finally squirm. I doubt they change anything. At some I suppose they borrow to pay the interest.

I’d love to see this debated on the House floor.

3 solutions...
1. ALL the money sent to ukrane and to all the LIB projects, to be used for Social Security or sent back to the taxpayers.
2. Invest the way peloso invested, we’d all be rich.
3. Ban the democrat/socialist/ communist party.

Traffic on the roads and in stores was heavy and rude with government employees and other special interest beneficiaries today during this weekend before MLK Day but not with members of our military forces.

The Uniparty oligarchs in DC are making far too much money on our generational, multi trillion $ new Cold War Uke quagmire for it to end.
