18,000+ die every yr from the common flu. If I told you we needed to spend $500 billion annualy to wipe out the common flu , you would tell me Im clean out of my friggen head, and you would be correct.
Economically, spending that kind of dollars on conquering the flu virus, would increase productivity and be well worth the investment.

Ahemm! They bombed them.. i didn't have anything to do with it.

Our "DEFENSIVE" military industrial complex, has been taken over by Corporate Greed, that likes making stuff that hurts people.

Our Politicians have sold out to the powers at be... "The Oligarchs" of the world, in order to keep their power and income.

WE didn't have anything to do with their crappy decision making.

Patriotism in The American Armed forces is misguided, and our men and women are being used to murder people that have resources and strategic positions, that greedy, evil people want and exploit.

Or is it really about Jews, Muslims, Christians... BS

So you would support spending $500billion per yr for this?

Keep in mind , the mojority of those deaths are elderly who may die of something else shortly thereafter.
