The senate has passed a bill that increases the military’s budget by $700 BILLION! Yes, you read that correctly. A single section of our country’s infrastructure has been awarded $700 billion in funds. This leaves the equally, if not presently more, important sections of education and healthcare with virtually nothing.
When it comes to healthcare, Trump has already cut the life saving aid the Affordable Care Act provided, and now he has almost cut healthcare completely out of government. And education should be a cornerstone of any society. Knowledge truly is power and by not strengthening our schools the acting government is very literally diminishing our power. This bill passing funds an instant gratification mentality, this nation need to be supported for the long haul. Dividing the governments funds more logically and thoughtfully could do this.
