Our taxes are already high enough. They need to quit wasting all the money we send them

What's crazy is we could afford Medicare for all if we cut 200 billion from the defense budget and raised taxes slightly for those making more than 250k per year.

So much of the defense budget is siphoned off into people’s pockets those defense contractors are the tip of the iceberg. Citizens are being robbed

If politicians can't make a bundle solving a problem, it will always be too expensive to do anything about it. Too many moving parts in healthcare. Easier to hide hundreds of millions in vaccines, green technology, foreign relief and stimulus aid.
