Serious question.
Why is Hillary willing to spend limitless funds to go to war against brown people, but not a penny on universal healthcare?

(30,058 posts)Funds to defense contractors like Lockheed Martin on the F-35 program. It is well over budget and continues to get funded.

(11,709 posts)Maybe that's the problem. Hillary thought pushing for wars in the Middle-East meant we were going to send thousands of armed soldiers, tanks, and bombs over there so they could give them a good talking-to.
Again, sorry. We seem to have a different understanding of what the word "war" means.
Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)F-35 program, Hillary hasn't been in congress since early 2009. The trillion dollars is on this one project which has not met expectations, experts say it would lose in a dog fight. Maybe expressing anger at Sanders would change his mind the next time funding for Lockheed Martin for the F-35 project comes up.

And you're still avoiding the fact that Hillary supports spending money on killing brown people but not healing them.
You ignore facts a lot.

(30,058 posts)Ask Sanders how much could have helped in healing people with the trillion dollars he funded for the F-35 program. BTW, people of all colors gets sick and needs medical attention.

(9,289 posts)Can you imagine spending all that money and then cancelling it without even completing the project? We already have commitments from other nations (e.g., Australia) to buy it.
Clinton would never propose such a thing and neither will Sanders. Sanders has said that the project was wasteful, but he is smart enough to know that it would be absurd to cancel it now.
Experts disagree about how well it will perform. Time will tell.

(30,058 posts)People may not like your answer. Maybe cut the salaries of the executives of a corporation who is failing to produce the F-35 and give this project to another corporation.

(11,709 posts)When you can show me that Hillary did not support spending money on wars against brown people who never threatened us, but now demands that we spend nothing on universal healthcare, I'll apologize.

(13,685 posts)H is all for spending a trillion dollars a year on war making machinery, then turns around and complains about how health care for our own citizens costs too much, Crazy.
And we see from some replies here so far support of the crazy idea that we can afford to kill but can't afford to heal.
