Every time somebody says we don't have enough money to fund public schools or mental health services or Medicaid expansion I tell them to look at the defense budget.

This is among the most crucial issues of our time. Please keep pulling on this thread Judd. Can't wait to see the list of politicians who've taken money from these private defense contractors, how much they've taken, and what leadership roles they occupy on House and Senate committees.

I hit the “like” icon because this piece provides excellent insights. But military spending disgusts me. We pay for ships the Pentagon doesn’t even want but fail to fund slightly higher raises for the lowest paid service men and women. People don’t matter in this country.
