1. He's right, you know

We mysteriously "find" the money to pay for all kinds of stuff. Certainly we can find the cash to pay for the health and well-being of our people. What the hell else is good government for?

2. Funny how this question never gets asked about the military, but when it comes to domestic spending?

Here come the pitchforks.

7. The military is an enormous domestic spending project.

Even what is being discussed here.

We need to get out of perpetual war. I like Sanders tweet. But so much military spending is domestic, even from the numbers being espoused.

3. There is always

enough money to pay for wars ( defense contractors).

4. Either my iggy list has grown without my direct contribution...

...or the peanut gallery doesn't much want to talk about this.

Say, how did Joe vote in 2002 again? My memory is a little hazy.

5. The war budget is unlimited.

It is only programs that benefit the peasants that are subjected to funding constraints.

Also not subject to constraints: tax cuts for the wealthy.

10. So if we'd spent NO money on it, which is unrealistic, thats about 350B a yr.

Still nowhere near enough to pay for even the MCA, much less anything else on the desired list.
