WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO REAL LINCOLN REPUBLICANS?

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

President Eisenhower's quote is explaining a simple but powerful idea about priorities. 

He says that all the materials, money, and human effort used to create weapons of war represent resources that are taken away from helping people in need. 

Building a bomber or a battleship (or a glitzy ballroom) means that same metal, concrete, and labor cannot be used to build schools, hospitals, or homes. It is a choice to spend a nation's strength on arms instead of on its people.

He frames this as a kind of theft to highlight the human impact. The real cost is paid by those who suffer from poverty and hardship. 

The money spent on a single rocket could instead buy food for the hungry or warm clothes for those who are cold. His point is that true security and a good society come from caring for its citizens and building a peaceful future, not just from accumulating military power.

A strong military keeps Russia and China from coming up your ass or maybe that's what you want. As for schools you could build a million of them but the low test scores will remain. All you communist do is complain.Why don't you provide some solutions? You had 8 years with Obama and 4 years with Biden. What was accomplished? Obamacare? What a joke?

To a lot of people Obama care was not a joke. Obama Care has helped many folks that I know. It may not be perfect but it is or was helpful.

Trump said he would fix it but now only has concepts on how to do it.

The solution is to get rid of every incompetent fool in the Trump administration. Easy peasy

6:23. Obama and Biden could have done more. They spent too much effort cleaning up the recessions of Republican presidents. 🖕🏽
