Military and health care costs have spiraled out of control because no
one wants to appear anti-defense or take on the huge $ in pharma,
non-profit (cough, cough) hospitals, nor face the wrath of their
campaign finance coffers.
Medicine spends about 4 times as much lobby money into our politicians
as the military industrial complex.
That says where the $ is, doesn't it. Is there no end to Americans
being shaken down for the enrichment of the wealthy?
Is there no end to hard working taxpayers being shaken down for the
enrichment of those who would rather while away the time until the first
of the month to come around so they can get their benefits.

Sure. That's the heart of the problem. Not the billions spent by the
big corporations trying to get every last dime out of some guy who can
barely feed his family. You're really either stupid or a ****.
The top 1% own something like half the country. Sounds like the folks
who are living off welfare checks probably don't own much, or have
much to look forward to in terms of helping their kids get an
education or having a retirement or living in anything resembling
comfort. Those are naturally occuring consequences.
But the fact that the middle class is under siege by the wealthy is
something we should be paying attention to, since our economy depends
on a healthy middle class.
Otherwise, we're going to become Mexico.
I thought that was the dream of the 'progressives'.
You liberals want open borders, no 'rich' (except liberal politicians, whom you never seem to
discuss), and equality for all.
Isn't that what becoming Mexico is all about, senor?
