Thanks and Indeed it needs to be said more... but it comes at a high cost. The zealots on both sides will attack us for saying ANYTHING critical of their crooked parties.

I was a critic of Trump's $57B extra for the military budget. It seemed an obscene waste of money and clearly I was correct that SOME of the $57B increase should have gone to the preparation for the war against the smallest enemies, biological ones such as the Corona Virus.

Ike warned against the Military Industrial Complex long ago and he was correct and ignored.

We SHOULD have been spending all this war money on energy independence through safe, clean nuclear fission, research on fusion, solar, hydrogen, bio (converting algae into fuel, etc.) and "drill baby drill" so we would be completely energy independent so we could deplete our supplies of oil by the time we have clean renewable energy for 100% but for legacy wells.

Anyway, nobody really likes Libertarians as we just want to get along (don't tell people who to love or what to do with their bodies) but we don't want to pay for it AND we don't like war. I think the big reasons the party can't get any traction is you can't get richer sucking the government teats when the government cuts spending. The other two parties are bloated pigs on taxpayers blood.
