why does govt have no money for environmental issues, for the starving poor people, for susidized health care of people, for good scientific research when it can spend billions on military and senseless wars? what can we do to change the situation?

Environmental issues are usually just liberal mental or emotional issues. They don't deserve money.
Take global warming. Man-made greenhouse gases rank #6 on the list of causes at the most.
A single volcanic eruption can put more sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere than 100 years of American driving habits. So whenever you hear a liberal trying to put a conservative on a guilt trip for not caring about the issue, we just laugh at you behind your back because you don't have enough sense to move out of the emotion-driven media and into legitimate studies on the topic.

One of the main reasons the govt does not spend money on social issues more then national issues is because we are a federal Republic, not a socialist republic. It is not the United States Govt job to give everyone health care, or for the govt to clean up the environment.

To be completely honest, the government hasn't got money for either anymore. But if our officials would fight this war correctly then the earth's environment would be much more safe in the future. These muslims surely want to nuke our country and dump toxic waste everywhere via semi-trucks. If you don't believe this, google the following words "muslims try to obtain truck driving licenses and only transport hazardous material, but not learn how to drive in reverse in order to get the license more quickly." That should put some things in perspective for you.

War is run economically.. the more wars we have within a worldwide aspect, the more money the selling nations will gain from weapons. This is the main reason for the "booming" amounts of money available for war.

Wow, what an overinflated sense of power you have. That we can "save" the earth..
I hate to break it to you.. the Earth was here long before we were and will still be here when we're all dead and gone. And NOTHING we can do will change that.

You cannot change the evil which exist in the hearts of mankind, all you can do is pray that with God's help, they will see the light and turn their lives around for the betterment of mankind.
