12. who's afraid of the boogie man when people go hungry, people are on the streets

people cannot afford decent health care because of shitty wages? adding extra funds to an obscene behemoth doesn't keep us any safer, just feeds corporate interests. remember reading about OBL's plan of bankrupting the US by having the military overextended. well, bankrupting the people in this country has actually given a windfall to certain global corporations, i wonder if his family also prospered.

i consider protecting the citizens of our country and strengthening our infrastructure number one priority. and by protecting, I mean decent jobs, healthcare, taking care of our children, the elderly, the sick, and superior education for the future of this country. so, is this included in their defense bill? didn't think so.

who are you protecting if your people go hungry, lose their home or the decent jobs they once had? i no longer buy into the boogie man and when they up the ante because, after all, we need it to protect you from the boogie men of the world. and as you're feeding us bullshite, there are people in this country FEARING not the boogie man, but losing their meager job, being homeless, elderly fearing they will have even less fixed income.
