Major General Smedley D. Butler; War is a Racket
As relevant today as was then.
Smedely Butler also claimed that a certain faction of Republicans wanted him to lead an army to overthrow Franklin Roosevelt’s government. Some were from the big auto companies, banks and big oil. They included Prescott Bush, the father and grandfather of two U.S. presidents who also did business with the Third Reich before the war.
The same kind of people are still running, or is it ruining things, for their own profit and get off Rick Scott free.
This certainly does not apply in Britain. A miserable £60 billion is spent on defence, yet that welfare bill is £333 billion, much of which is used for giving people more money to be out of work than if they took jobs, including all the illegal immigrants.
In actual fact the USA spends 5x as much on healthcare as it does on the military.
Outdated figures. That includes ACA subsidies which has since been discontinued
Looks like a political cartoon from the New Yorker. Anyone know the artist ?
Arts-Cut, Education-cut, Healthcare-cut, Science– cut. that’s all republicans doing, all of it. Now you can argue amounts but for a fact these programs are cut and not near where they should be. Yes, healthcare is expensive as well as education but those things are incredibly more important than killing other humans. If you’re living in fear your stuff might get stolen or some country might ridiculously invade America you need your brain examined. worse is all the religious people that ONLY support hate and wars but don’t care about the aged and sick– and children’s education.
