Editor,
China has just landed its third probe on the moon to collect samples to bring back to Earth (China Space Ambitions Dec. 3). They have sent a rover en route to Mars, is developing a reusable space plane, and is planning to put humans back on the lunar surface no doubt to put the first human colony in space.
The United States has squandered $6.4 trillion on four illegal wars (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Pakistan) since 2001. The question is: How can Americans continue to vote for the same useless, self-serving political hacks who pander to the 1% and the defense industry, but who cannot even put the brakes on a pandemic that is ravaging our country? With $6.4 trillion, we could have repaired our crumbling infrastructure, given affordable medical care to our citizens, provided pandemic medical equipment to our first responders, and still had money in reserve to colonize the moon and explore the stars.
But that type of forward thinking is beyond the grasp of those pandering fools in the District of Criminals.

Frank, I think China is calling you, they want you to move over to their country since you don't seem to like this one.
That may be the case, Mr. Scafani, but Democrats in DC would probably have enriched themselves and their families to the tune of $6 trillion, while allowing $0.4 trillion to be used for idiotic things such as global warming causes. But nothing for you and me.
Thank you Frank, you nailed it. President Trump has made inroads to stop this wasteful spending. Of course, should Biden prevail, war mongers will take over again. Just consider his pick for Secretary of Defense. This former general let ISIS flourish and now he will once again announce another JV team elsewhere in the world that is out to suck us dry.
I have tossed this quote from Albert J. Nock into the mix during a different discussion. He said, "If every jobholder in Washington were driven into the Potomac tonight, their places would be taken tomorrow by others precisely like them.”
Mr. Nock did not make any distinctions as to whether D or R followed the jobholder's name.
Welcome to the discussion.
