On November 6, 2009, Dennis Kucinich (D – OH) issued the following statment. My sentiments, exactly:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy is it we have finite resources for health care but unlimited money for war? <\/p>\n
\u201cThe inequities in our economy are piling up: trillions for war, trillions for Wall Street and tens of billions for the insurance companies. Banks and other corporations are sitting on piles of cash of taxpayer\u2019s money while firing workers, cutting pay and denying small businesses money to survive. <\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are losing their homes, their jobs, their health, their investments, their retirement security; yet there is unlimited money for war, Wall Street and insurance companies, but very little money for jobs on Main Street. <\/p>\n
\u201cUnlimited money to blow up things in Iraq and Afghanistan, and relatively little money to build things in the US. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Administration may soon bring to Congress a request for an additional $50 billion for war. I can tell you that a Democratic version of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is no more acceptable than a Republican version of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. <\/p>\n
\u201cTrillions for war and Wall Street, billions for insurance companies… When we were promised change, we weren\u2019t thinking that we give a dollar and get back two cents.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
