Bernie Sanders: "When we talk about investing in our people, we hear, 'How are you going to pay for that?' Yet the cost of our endless wars will soon surpass $6 trillion. Imagine if we invested $6 trillion in health care, education, housing, our infrastructure and much more. We must do better."

Just like you said people trying to push a narrative. Yeah funding things like healthcare, education and helping our citizens is a wonderful idea, I mean who would be against that.

People are quick to forget that a lot of people hate America and will irrationally go out of their way to attack us and other countries that stand for freedom. The United States spends a lot of money protecting not only our country but other countries.

Yes we could probably spend less to do so, but running a government isn't easy and no one is perfect. Too many people want to live in an idealistic society that can't happen and if it does won't be for a long time.

People please move away from the two sided black and white, us vs them, this or that kind of thinking. It's what got us to this point.
