I think that the current United States Congress is doing a terrible job at spending this nations money.  America should be trying to better itself instead of spending money on excess military. How can you justify spending over 600 billion dollars on the military when knowing people can’t get healthcare? Shouldn’t saving American lives be a higher priority instead of maintaining a large global military? We should be using our money to save peoples lives at home instead of on military expenditure.

Why are we spending so much money on keeping illegal immigrants from passing through the southern border? We should make it easier for people from Mexico to migrate over to America. Immigrate workers that fill low paying jobs, like construction, help boost the economy by allowing people with higher paying jobs to be more productive. We could spend the money we save from defending our borders towards education or healthcare!

Why should we be spending money on excess weapons when we could be educating our population more effectively? Why do we have to have seventeen aircraft carriers when other countries that have only have one or two? We should be spending money on public education instead of buying military ships we don’t need! Why should we have to settle for lesser education? Aren’t we Americans?  Shouldn’t we strive for the best or at least make an effort to become the best?
