And roads and tell me your own town does not need millions in repairs .
That crack houses are abandoned homes in poor neighborhoods that burn down in the winter as the homeless try to stay warm .
We spend billions on military defense and if we spent that money on repairing our nation we would have a country the hole world could respect , admire and emulate .

You complain about defense spending, but over 50 percent of our total budget is handouts, Social Security, Medicare, and Welfare.

You've got that right! In this town an overpass produced a monster hole. A bridge over the highway had to shut down. This town is under construction. There is no place you can drive that isn't a cone zone. It would be wonderful if we put as much into our country as we seem to others.

Yep, all empires fall sooner or later.
Our cracking infastructure has been an issue for many decades.
Nobody wants to address it and yet, as you say, if we took the money we are wasting in Iraq and applied it to repairing and updating our infastructure, our country would be the envy of every person around the world.

the United States has a military budget that is equal to all of the other countries in the world. Not some countries, all of them. Something is wrong with that picture. I believe in a strong military, but this is a little crazy. China has ten time more people than we have, they have a strong military, but they don't spend near what the U.S. does. Where is all this money going????????????????????

we have a country the whole world admires and respects, thats why they're all trying to get in. and to protect this nation that we've created we have to maintain defense. rome fell because it failed to maintain a standing army and relied on germanic tribes paid to defend their borders.

I'm against the government providing heat to crackhouses.
And America must be doing something right since millions are trying to sneak in!
