Military, Education and Other Necessities
There are certain government functions that need to be handled properly regardless of cost. One example where Republicans agree is the military. While establishing this country’s military budget most politicians tend to first decide what is needed and then go about acquiring the funds in order to maintain our superiority. (For now let’s not get into the fact that it is largely the military-industrial complex that decides what is needed.and therefore they set their own budget.) In other important areas including infrastructure, which includes water, and education, we often tend to first decide how much is available to spend and then argue over how to distribute the pie. Those ending up on the short end of the stick are most often the impoverished and/or minorities. One has to wonder what happened to the phrase “... one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
