1. The answer is simple,

The Senate.

The Senate does not represent America, it represents minority rule.

2. Yes, minority rule easily corrupted by the kings of industry.

We need to end the filibuster and save Democracy.

We need bold legislation that takes back what has been taken from the people in this country.

Tax the rich, there is no free rides freeloaders.

3. Has any Admin proposed cuts to military budget? I bet not. Biden is proposing 3% increase.

6. I think it was the Pentagon budget where they started calling a reduction in...

the rate of increase a "cut."

7. Congress wants those $$$

Defense contracts for their states

8. Every Empire falls .... eventually....

And those Empires fall faster if they spend themselves to death trying to keep that Empire. Or even expand it.
