I find it INSANE that you can spend billions upon BILLIONS on military spending ( even though nobody could mess with you even if you only spent HALF the amount - it would still be more than 4 times what any other nation spends) yet will not spend money on keeping people literate and healthy.. absolutely crazy.

The military spending that you talk about is part of the corporate welfare or the welfare for the rich I have been talking about. This is what we call the military industrial complex where these defense companies rely on government subsidies to keep them in business and keep their shareholders happy. I absolutely agree with you, as an American, that this is absolutely insane. Complete madness. But this is part of the class war being waged on the American working poor. But it's not just the American working poor, it is a class war which is being waged on a global scale.

I'm telling you dude.. ur all getting screwed by big business and this halfassed "capitalist" system ( government subsidy for SOME but not for others)

Yup, we sure are. I always get a kick out of people here where I live, making fun of the poor who are on welfare. I usually step and explain how the rich collect way more welfare benefits than the poor. They have bought into the myth of the "undeserving" poor.
