What about the war machine budget?

I haven't heard any of our candidates address the obscene budget for the war machine. Do we really need to spend that much on the military?

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Clinton cut the military budget and sold it as a peace dividend. Let's face it, the military budget is the Republican jobs program. Jobs for Hughes and GE and General Dynamics, etc to develop more and more military systems. It's way past time to put a damper on the war machine.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
