Our 2016 Political Fiasco

There have been many issues raised during this election season.  Senator Sanders, Independent, Vermont, raised questions of where OUR money was being spent.  I thought I would do a little comparative research.

I decided to take a look at our defense budget and compare it to our education spending.

For the year 2016 the budget proposes 580Billion
For the year 2017 the budget proposes 583 Billion
For the year 2018 the budget proposes 615.4Billion

Notice it increases every year.  The link below will show you projected budgets until 2020 when it will be 643.9 Billion.

Here is the link to see for yourself.

I compared this information to America's education budget.

For 2017, the entire education budget is 69.4Billion
They brag that there is a 1.3Billion dollar increase since 2016.  In my humble opinion, that is nothing to be proud about.  Below is a link to see for yourself.

Now, what's wrong with this picture?  To my mind, it clearly shows our government's intent for the youth of our nation.  It proves to me that OUR children are not being raised and educated to be doctors, lawyers or entrepreneurs, but as CANON FODDER.

Our young men, and now, even our young women will be shipped off to foreign soil to fight in trumped up wars that benefit no one but the wealthiest Americans.

And, don't think their boys and girls will go into battle.  They are protected by their affluent standing in American society.

This is shameful.  It is disgusting.  It MUST stop.  Hillary Clinton will be very satisfied with this budget with her war hawk mentality.  Should Mr Trump win, I am certain he can use this budget to produce more of the nuclear weapons he sees as toys for his enjoyment.

Why are we constantly permitting our government to shortchange our youth?  Why are we permitting our government to appropriate such a ludicrous amount of money for "defence" and practically nothing for our children's education?
WHY DO WE PERMIT THIS?

Join me in calling for mass demonstrations.  OUR government is CORRUPT.  Nothing will be GIVEN to us, we must TAKE it.
