And we have spent over $6-trillion on the aftermath in wars and weapons with nary a flinch or much debate or even concern about the cost.

I really don't want to hear about how the people's needs cannot be taken care of in this crises. Is it our fault that we could bomb the virus millions of times over with what we spend on the "defense" budge and we are looking at all kinds of critical shortages for our life and death needs right now? Really? Are you kidding me? What?

You don't need all that defense for a country brought to its knees by a President that wants that in order to further his dictatorial ambitions. You won't be able to defend corpses and they won't need your ammo. The question of just WHAT we are all geared up for and cashed out to defend is really a flashing red light that reveals a humongous elephant in America's war room.
