One telling sign of a country’s downfall is irrational priorities. For the USA, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to rationally justify a “defense” budget of 2 BILLION/DAY, more than the next EIGHT big spending countries together, 40% of world military spending. While insisting on fiscal austeriry measures & strict oversight for all other government expenditures.
It’s OUR pocketbook. That’s good and helps me take responsiblity for my part in war. Whether it be my complicit silence or allowing my tax dollars to support such a wasteful enterprise.
