(3,732 posts)When I think of how that money could have been used.
When I think of the people who are homeless.
When I think of Obama's community college speech which will probably remain just a speech.
When I think of the repeated cuts to food stamps.
When I think of all the Congressional hand-wringing of how "we" just DON'T HAVE THE MONEY to do anything! How "we" have to think of the national debt! How "we" have to look for more and more ways to cut money from seniors, from the disabled, from the poorest and most vulnerable segments of society...
AND WE ARE PAYING 300 MILLION DOLLARS TO BIG PHARMA SO OUR MILITARY FORCES CAN HAVE ERECTIONS WHILE THEY CARRY THEIR BIG GUNS????!!!!!
THE WRONGNESS OF THIS IS ASTRONOMICAL TO AN INFINITE POWER!!!!!!
Can Congress pass emergency legislation to recapture this money and redirect it into something that ameliorates that actual needs of society?

We lined up one day each year in August and we all got examined and vaccinated, like a production line. Very efficient. Hundreds of kids in an afternoon.
