Thanks to U.S. Congress, Endless War Will... Not End

4. This is the Main Problem in the US

This is the main problem in the US, our disgusting wars and our bloated military budget make it impossible for our citizens to have access to the benefits they deserve and have paid for.

Besides the economic crimes of using our taxes for wars, there is the moral crime. We have over a million people dead in Iraq and 275,000 deaths with our Syria interventions. Americans are caught up in a frenzy of popular culture, infotainment, overdone holidays, festivals, drinking, drugs, and sports events that distract us from the horrible truth of what we are doing abroad.

Beneath the happy face is the moral disaster that we have become complicit in this monstrous enterprise, and the pain and guilt seep in now and then eating away at our souls. This is a sad day for America. I support Sanders who has shown us a path out of this abyss.
