In a coincidence, the day after I received a monthly DCCC-which again disappointed me, I ran into my Democratic congresswoman and raised my concerns. Over-spending on defense and military over expansion costing our infrastructural development trillions annually.

I don't know how many thousands or millions (other than myself) receivethe monthly DCCC surveys about the interests and priorities of the Democratic Party. I receive them and provide feedback regularly by email and snail mail. What about youdo you get them too?

I enjoy participating in the surveys and getting an opportunity to share my voice on the issues of the day, however, these surveys always leave out one key or major foreign policy decision which also adversely affects our domestic tranquility and national development year-after-year.

This is namely the fact that year-after-year, some 70+% of our national discretionary budget goes for paying down debt and commitments for our previously poor and questionable misadventures & follies of war and out-of-control over-extended jingoistic hysteria which have led to
unimaginable losses of life, of arrest of economic development, and creation of abnormal social development here in America. (The founding fathers of the USA would cry in shame at what we have done with the wealth and the commonwealth bequeathed upon us generation.)

In the 24+ questions which I find on these surveys each time, we are participants are NEVER asked by the DCCC:

1Should we take a peace dividend for the next generations and reduce our wastefulness in terms of Defense and Security budgets and dependencies around the world?

Yes or No
