Infrastructure please. Less war, more engineering decent lives for all. Military industrial complex IS THE SWAMP

Defense is every bit as important as Infrastructure, CD. Just like with the Billions spent on Research/Development/Intellectual Property...if one's competitors have the power to just STEAL it...then it's all for naught.

I thought about Trump's tax cuts for Corporations, and what it amounts to in the real economy is that Corporations will use the tax cut money to replace the losses for higher (local) labor costs...and the money will go into the pockets of the LOCAL laborers instead of the Government.

Bottom line. Money goes to local working people, FOR WORK...instead of the Government allocating out money for social programs on the basis of non-employment/need...instead of work.

As long as we keep that money in the US, and spend it on things with value like economically accountable, EFFICIENT, Defense, Infrastructure, Education (real version, moral/civic and economic) and honest Research/Development...I think the numbers will shake out.
