Wake Up, America- There’s Not Much Time Left Before We Reach The Zero Hour!

Obviously, there are much better uses for your taxpayer funds than trillions of dollars being wasted on war. The following are just a few ways those hard-earned dollars could be used:

• $270 billion to repair U.S. public schools, and twice that much to modernize them.

• $120 billion a year to fix the nation’s crumbling infrastructure. With 32% of the nation’s major roadways in poor or mediocre condition, it’s estimated that improving the nation’s roads and bridges would require $120 billion a year through 2020, although it will take “many trillions ... to fix the country's web of roads, bridges, railways, subways and bus stations.”

• $251 million for safety improvements and construction for Amtrak.

• $690 million to care for America’s 70,000 aging veterans.

• $11 billion wasted or lost in Iraq in just one year could have paid 220,000 teachers’ salaries.

• The yearly cost of stationing just one soldier in Iraq could have fed 60 American families.

• $30 billion per year to end starvation and hunger around the world.

• $11 billion per year to provide the world—including our own failing cities—with clean drinking water.

• Use the $10 billion spent every year to provide arms, equipment, training and advice internationally to more than 180 countries to start paying down the overwhelming $19 trillion national debt. This figure doesn’t include the hundreds of billions spent each year on maintaining the U.S. military presence around the globe.

As long as “we the people” continue to allow the government to wage its costly, meaningless, endless wars abroad, the American homeland will continue to suffer: our roads will crumble, our bridges will fail, our schools will fall into disrepair, our drinking water will become undrinkable, our communities will destabilize, and crime will rise.

Here’s the kicker, though: if the American economy collapses—and with it the last vestiges of our constitutional republic—it will be the government and its trillion-dollar war budgets that are to blame.

Of course, the government has already anticipated this breakdown.

That’s why the government has transformed America into a war zone, turned the nation into a surveillance state, and labelled “we the people” as enemy combatants.
