And when the people have little to no affordable health care, classroom sizes are at a ratio of at least 45 kids to one teacher, seniors decide if they can eat, receive medications or pay rent, police forces are limited to protect the streets, firehouses closed we will at least have a Defense Department capable of nuking the world ten times over, more aircraft invented only to become obsolete in a year and oh yeah more payoffs to corporations like Haliburton.
Dick Cheney has come to Washington DC declaring that HIS AMERIKA is on the abyss of Communist, Islamist, Socialist takeover, if in fact the Republican/Tea Party Congresswomen and men don’t fight the Defense Department budget cuts.
And when food stamps no longer help feed the poor, when unemployment benefits are just a thing of the past, when the wealthy have every tax loophole available and the poor and middle class barely earn minimum wage, according to the fears and phobias of Dick Cheney we will still be the strongest most severe, ready to kill a thousand times over nation because no money will ever be cut from the Defense Department.
Dick Cheney a harbinger of neo conservative paranoia, self serving deceptive definition of Capitalism, elitism and arrogance, distrust for the Constitution has come to Washington telling his cronies and comrades called Republican/Tea Party to ignore the deal they made on the deficit a few months ago. Mr Cheney has come to Washington DC to insist any deal made that he alone does not approve of is deal with the devil. Mr. Cheney has come to Washington DC to pronounce that his AMERIKA will not survive the onslaught of Democrat/Progressive crying that protects the average citizen instead of permitting the Military Industrial complex to thrive.
And today the Speaker of the House John Boehner with a few tears dripping from his eyes because he fears the Russians or Chinese will invade our nation militarily (forget that they already own this country financially), insisted that any deal made in the past that included the cuts to the Defense Department were done under duress, and now we must fight for the future of a secure AMERIKA. And today with the swish of a strong hurricane rushing in from the ocean almost every Republican/Tea Party politician in a powerful position moved his lips, pointed her fingers and said a better AMERIKA is one with no cuts to the Defense Department.
And when we don’t cut any funding for the Defense Department, but cut almost 80% of funds for any and all Safety Net government programs, one has wonder what kind of AMERIKA will we be defending? And when we insist that more is better for the military, no matter what that more includes or costs, while spending less on the quality of life for the Americans we are protecting, we have to wonder what kind of nation will this AMERIKA turn into? And when billions of dollars are traded from health care costs, retirement accounts, education environment protection, for MORE, MOST, MANY within the Defense Department we have to wonder who are the fools that care less for the people and more their own careers and bottom lines? If life in this country is far beyond livable, enjoyable, or tolerable for the 99% but the coffers of Haliburton and Cheney grow and grow why even bother to protect this nation?
Once again, we have the need of the few as a priority and the need of the many ignored. And once again those who will suffer the most seem to delight in their own demise thinking that no cuts within the Defense Department will make their lives better, bigger bolder. When does the madness stop? Where are the sane who seek a real solution?
