Is ISIS going to put millions of children out of their homes, homeless and starving? [View all]

I don't understand how someone like Elizabeth Warren could say ISIS is our biggest threat?

The war drained all of our resources to help the people made unemployed by free trade agreements,no one helped the homeless and starving created by fradulent bankers stealing homes through illegal foreclosures...we can't even help veterans created by the last war.

POVERTY IS OUR BIGGEST ENEMY.

And the people purposely creating poverty for millions in this nation by their own greed and sociopathy.

Koch brothers speculating on gas, for instance, tripling the cost of gas for everyone, affecting the cost of food and heat....they are the enemy, not ISIS.

I cannot believe anyone would buy into the military industrial complex bullshit...yet again......
