Military Money Pit
Sometimes statistics float by us without giving them a second thought. After all, we have a lot on our minds. But one statistic raised in this three-part interview on The Real News bears repeating: the United States of America spends more on its military than all the other countries in the world combined.
Why? Because Congress and the Cabinet are on the military industry payroll.
But are all those jobs at Lockheed, Boeing, and General Electric worth it? Maybe for the employees and stock holders, but not for the rest of us whose taxes disappear into the military money pit. For us, monetizing mass murder is a losing proposition.
