@augieray
It does land as a stark contrast calling for investment in people abroad while downplaying it at home. That tension says a lot about priorities and what we define as “security.”Makes you wonder: can a nation truly be secure if it underinvests in the well-being of its own people?

@augieray Well Rubio sort of had a point (roughly).

@JebKFan @augieray not really, no. i'm the last person who will defend the islamic revolution, they're degenerates, but if they had spent their money on their people instead of the means to defend their oil fields they would have become East Iraq in the 1980s, and don't think they didn't know it then and know it now.

@augieray They are relying SO MUCH on their base upholding the American exceptionalism narrative to resist clueing in on the call coming from inside the house. It feels like a really dicey gamble at this stage in a way it never has in my life.

Imagine if the US, instead of building the largest military in the world, had spent the money on it's citizens. -

@augieray I strongly believe, as with the religious establishment in the New Testament, that a significant portion of life is a hypocrisy test.
It explains basically everything about Donald Trump... a born rich, wise-as-a-stump person who prides himself on all seven deadly sins.

@augieray "The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people." — Dwight D. Eisenhower, Republican
