There is no discussion much less a debate about our endless wars or the out sized $trillion defense budget or any other substantive issue.

The wars and defense budget are all rubber stamped and approved by those elected in our corrupt political process.

As the saying goes, "Power corrupts. And absolute power corrupts absolutely".

That's our political system in nutshell, absolutely corrupt.
