F 35 BOMB

Senator McCain and other supporters of a VERY expensive and over the top military have dropped their biggest dud bomb yet with the F 35.  Since Pres Reagan ended the cold war the USA has spent as much on military as the rest of the world combined.  Only China currently spends $100 billion and no other country spends even $50 billion, that includes Russia, England, France, etc.  The F 35, aircraft carriers, submarines, and rockets are all generations ahead of the rest of the world.  NO country is any threat to the sovereignty of the USA.  Instead of building our education system  so that all of our kids have a real opportunity in life our POLITICIANS  squander our resources on this senseless military spending.  Who is benefiting?  Military contractors and politicians--greedy all.  The Iraq war was waged primarily to enrich defense contractors and construction contractors.  When there are no "threats" the military and politicians make up threats, like North Korea--i.e. the mouse that roared.
Americans need to wake up and look at reality when it comes to spending our resources and tax dollars.   No more waste.  Fix our education problems and our infrastructure-no more wars-no more senseless killing of kids and women-no more greedy politicians ripping us off.
