Isn't It Amazing?

We, the richest nation on the face of the earth, have homeless people, including veterans, living in cardboard boxes, or pushing shopping carts filled with their earthly belongings from one place to another. 

We have children who go hungry every day.

We have people who die of curable diseases because they can't afford health care. 

Or go bankrupt trying to pay for what health care they have.

We have aging infrastructure all across the nation.

We have lead and other dangerous chemicals in our air and water 

We have generations of children stuck in substandard schools, understaffed, without the basic essentials that all schools need to function.

We have people who should be in mental institutions roaming our city streets. (To be fair, some are in Congress, too)

We have easy access to guns, including military style hardware, for practically anyone.

We have school shootings on such a regular basis that they hardly attract attention, let alone shock, anymore. 

And we are constantly told that there is not enough money to solve these problems.

But somehow there is always enough money to start another war.

Always. 

Billions, trillions even, spent on killing.

Again and again and again.
