Why can't America find peace?

It is not going to happen if the USA leadership is stuck on war. Federal spending is the easiest economic fix any Republican boasts as 'necessary' spending. But, Republicans don't spend federal monies the same way as Democrats. They don't seek to elevate anyone out of poverty, they blame them for their own failings. It is always the victim of Republican policies that is at fault.

Republicans spend money on war. They like military hardware and they don't care if trillions upon trillions is spent on worthless projects such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. It is federal dollars after all and where best to waste it? If money has to be pork and wasteful at least when it is done with the military it looks legitimate and honorable.
