How come the United States is the only developed country in the world
without National Healthcare? How come our roads and bridges are
falling apart?
Apparently,
our nation spends so
much of our tax dollars on our military, that we
can't even afford to pave our roads, and we are converting them
back to gravel roads.
Also... funny, true, interesting to watch, and covers a lot
of topics that affect American citizens and explains our government's
disastrous foreign policy. -

How many bombs does the USA drop each day on countries we aren't even at war with? Find out here
07/14/2018 Update:
Regarding The United States of America's proclivity for War & Military Spending, it's not about Israel, it never was, it's about Oil and War Profits; I could not have said this much better myself:
'It's about money. About cash and gold.
Profit. Markets. Growth. About cheap or free resources. Access to labor.
New customers.
War makes companies rich, it might be the ONLY
way they can get rich. War is waged when
GM wants to
sell trucks to the Pentagon. When
Boeing wants
to sell jets. When
MIT wants money for arms research. When
NATO wants a reason
to exist. The dogs of war are loosed when oil gets tight. When countries
won't 'accept our cultural freedoms'. When trade agreements aren't enough
to open up new markets.
Israel has fleeting nothing to do with
it, except maybe when war aligns with their perceived need for hegemony
in their own sphere. But by loading all this on
Israel you encourage
others to miss the real fox in the henhouse. You could wipe Israel off
the Earth tomorrow and still have (American) wars for profit for a thousand
years to come.
This nation (the USA) was born in war. It has
practiced war since that day and will be at war with the rest of the
world until humans are killed to the last and the last ounce of profit
from war is had.' -

Who are America's real owners? Who profits from the business of war?
It's no big secret, it's out in the open. In fact, you could look it
up on Yahoo Finance. Look up
any major company that you can think of, any company that is a 'household
name' in America, any
Fortune 500 company
from Amazon
to Verizon,
From Avon
to Raytheon,
from Mc Donald's
to Ford Motor Company.
They all have the same, or nearly the same 'Top Institutional Holders'
and 'Top Mutual Fund Holders'.
Here is a
partial list of the corporate entities the own The United States of
America, through the time honored Washington DC tradition of
influence
peddling (politelely called
lobbying);
their combined business interests guide both foreign and domestic policy
and also our laws and regulations; indeed, everything
of business or financial importance in this country.
