The United States & Turkey are the only two modern Industrial countries on Earth who dont have a national health care system.
(the US health care system is most expensive)
Most coutrys can afford thier National Health Care system because they dont have the massive National Security Defense Costs.
Many of these countrys with Health Care Ironically have US military bases on thier land. We provide thier securtiy, allowing them to put thier money into Health Care.
I was watching C-Span. Congress was looking for a way to cut spending. Of course a few congressman questioned why we are spending so much on defense. We have the Triad system of deterring the Russians. (Subs, missles, bombers)
Can the Pentagon give up one of these deterrents.?
Can the Pentagon close some of its foreign bases.?
Can the Pentagon ask foreigners to help pay for the war on terror?
Both democrat & republicans defended the pentagon budget. We need these programs to keep American Jobs.
Moral of the Story..The USA is a wealthy nation. We just have to decide where to spend our money. Guns or butter.
May the best Lobbyist get thier programs and taxdollars.
