Are weapons and money more important than people?

Millions of Americans Lack Adequate Health Coverage, But the Pentagon Has a New Nuclear Bomber to Flaunt:

"This ominous death machine, with its price tag of $750 million a pop, brings huge profits to Northrop Grumman but takes our society one more step down the road of spiritual death," peace activists said of the new B-21 Raider.

more important? no...

given more of a priority by the government? yes...

[Anonymous]

To Republicans, yeah they are.

health coverage isa cost, the plane is investment... in defense which means jobs.

to maintain our power grip on countries we need the best airforce, navy, space force. So we invest there... like every other country that's held the reserve currency... until they lose it.

I suspect they all do the same thing, neglect the people.

I don't agree with what we spend on defense, but people keep voting for these people on the left and right and so they get what they get.

Health care workers don't have jobs?

[lightbulb27]

yea my logical argument is weak.
It's about power which is control, to maintain the experience of wealth that we are as rich as we are. Health has jobs, military has jobs. what to do with all those airplane engineers and nuclear bomb specialists if they aren't controlled in military jobs?

you should ask the representatives and the military why they "need" this vs ensuring people can get treatment. I'd be curious the cost differential...

[msc545]

This is done to enrich defense contractors who are politically very powerful

[lightbulb27]

agree. and is it at all possible... they are influencing the decision makers regarding policy on the war... to foster their position?

[msc545]

Of course, they are. Massive corruption.

To our elites of both parties, emphatically yes. This makes some of people incredibly rich. Meanwhile, the median standard of living in the US is similar to Chile’s and falling.

[KrakenAttackin]

We need both. The "fraud" in our government budget is actually political payoffs and bribes. We could start by not sending billions to the Ukraine, just so the money can we washed back to cronies in the U. S.

[User3191989]

we put more money into defending ourselves, than we do educating ourselves

[Anonymous]

Yeah, that why the overpopulation problem plaguing the world will soon be solved over butchery counters of the world
