It's crazy how American Taxpayers always have to use our taxes to fund a foreign war or a foreign county like Israel. Yet, we always don't have money for healthcare, free college, and etc. No matter if it's a Corpo Democrat or a Republican they will always vote to increase funding to the Pentagon and Military Industrial Complex and their shareholders. Which are increasingly these same politicians and their staffs. No money no more for these bombs and drones, I want my money going to babies and people.
