Things have progressed a bit in 70 years.
Washington D.C. is now a major industry.
The D.C. metro area has a population of 6.4 million people.
All of those people don't just support war and its tools but a good many do.
These people are lined up at the Federal Hog Trough and working hard to make sure the tax payers keep it full.
Lobbyist for the war machine are working harder than most.
There is nothing un-Conservative about noticing that many in government associated with arms suppliers advocate the continuing of the forever wars.
Ever notice how supplying the Ukraine with more money for arms has no problem getting a vote but the Save America act does.
“All of those people don’t just support war and its tools but a good many do.”
You can’t have it both ways. Either “all those people” “support war” or just a “good many do”.
“There is nothing un-Conservative about noticing that many in government associated with arms suppliers advocate the continuing of the forever wars. “
Ever notice how that is a premise, a belief, without foundation, because it again tries to impute consequences- arms needed for a foreign policy, as the cause and driver of the policy - no evidence.
“Ever notice how supplying the Ukraine with more money for arms has no problem getting a vote but the Save America act does. “
Ever notice how people, like you, ignore the congressional facts. Money matters can get passed in both houses on simple majority votes. Policy matter with no financial stake, such as the Save America act, needs to get passed the filibuster, and 51 votes is not enough for THAT.
There are as many GOP votes in the House for the Save America act as there were for money for Ukraine.
If Thune wanted to break the filibuster on his watch he could pass the Save America Act. The difference is procedural in the Senate not greater interest in support for Ukraine.
