We Have Unlimited Money for Bombs 

*For average American to survive,I think will all need to find alternative means,The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance.It's obvious we are headed for hyperinflation, it is always the poor who take the hit.*

The senator is 100% correct...

God, there’s no one else like Bernie in US politics who just stands there and speaks human truth to power. We need more politicians that does what he does

This Great Man should have been President of the United States of America, but unfortunately the People did not recognize Him. Greetings from Morelia.

The money is all there. It's the will of the powerful corruppt to keep the rest of us poor.

Get rid of the electoral college. Get rid of lobbyists. Let the voices of the majority be heard and acted upon. Free healthcare, free education, affordable housing for all, and freedom from hate!

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. Dwight D. Eisenhower

For years the American people have been screaming to get rid of the Electoral College. Government has no interest in doing what the people want.

We could cure cancer, fix Climate change and help the poor with all the money we spend on 'Defense'.

I love you Bernie and appreciate all you do for us. The only sincere politician in the US. Bernie for President!!!

Amen brother! I've been saying this for 20yrs and people look at me like I'm nuts.

You are one of the few in the Congress and Senate with a conscience and true courage to speak truth to power. Thank you for your service.

Now you are the only sane voice in government.

Bernie is still one of the few politicians that represents the voice of the people, not the voice of super PACs and lobbyists.

And people thought Bernie was too old to be president..... the 2 guys running don't have half a brain left.

I'm so sick of this government, they have there own agenda.

Medicare For All, Bernie.

Bernie, why aren’t you on my ballot?

Growing up over the past few years into my mid 20s I have really come to respect the things bernie says. As a conservative teen I hated him for the dumb reason of calling him a socialist, but growing up these past years and seeing people and my own families suffer due to high cost of health care while we spend so much on other countries and our military. I do really wonder what our priorities are as a nation because at times again and again I truly believe it's not for the people.

It is absolutely insane how much all the different governments around the world spend on fighting over resources. Take that amount of money and put it towards something constuctive instead of destructive. The world would change for the better overnight instead of going down the toilet.

It's weird that he's 82 years old and CLEARLY more cognizant than both Trump and Biden, but he's put on the sidelines because the masters don't like what he says. I don't know the man personally, but he's as close to a good man as I can imagine on the surface. When he's gone I don't know if we'll ever have another one like him.

This man makes more sense than anyone I’ve seen

We are hurting..no government help. Im so disgusted. We cant afford to shop! get them .

Yes, thank you Dear Bernie for speaking and standing up for the truth. Wishing you and yours Happy Valentine's Day. May you be surrounded by love and warmth. Diana, Chicago.

A society that routinely places greater value on its weapons than its people will eventually have nothing else of value, no culture to defend and no one outside of the military to defend it. Even if its enemies are destroyed, it will have become its own worst enemy, having caused more destruction to itself than any enemy abroad could have ever hoped.

ceasefire bernie! please

Our government hasn’t served us in a long while. The government IS the problem.

This man is on of the very few politicians who still have some humanity left in them . May God reward you efforts dude

And we came so close to making this man President. But the oligarchs prevented it.

Half the annual budget goes to the military. Bombs, planes, the industrial military complex. He's spot on.

And the populace, especially in the midWest, Texas, and Florida, sure seems to have enough money for lots of guns.

This man will be missed when he’s gone. The voice of reason. The voice of the people.

Recall Citizens United.

But they say we can’t feed the poor

You will go dawn in history Bernie for being brave and just. A true citizen among citizens and politicians. God bless you Bernie.

Thank you again Bernie for everything you say in the defense of dignity of everyday people and against the military machine/ lobbyists.

Most of the problems and issues facing America could easily be solved by removing AIPAC.

As a veteran & a patriotic American, nobody wants a stronger military than me. But I can also tell you what Bernie is saying about the excessive spending on *no-bid* military contracts is absolutely correct. This is exactly what President Dwight D. Eisenhower (former WW2 General) warned *warned* us about b/4 he left office...back then already.

Feel the Bern! I had a friend put his own name on a local in for a school board position and he won by one vote - he was the only one who put his name in for the position. The school board didn’t know he was an Ace CPA. He couldn’t believe what was being done with tax payer’s money. Bonds had been paid off, but money was still collected every year “because the people were used to paying it and we can use it for a “rainy day”. Gee, maybe the people could use it for a rainy day themselves. Large amounts of money were held in account accruing interest. The account was set up for a specific project but the project was stopped. But the money couldn’t be use for anything else because it was collected just for the (discontinued) project. We see the city fear monger, saying the fire department needs more funds so they can get to your house on time. But then they say the money will be spent on staff - even thought it’s traffic congestion that slows down the fire trucks. But wait, there’s more. Turns out, the money goes into a general fund that can be spent on other projects. It’s not exclusively for the Fire Department. When Gov’t asks you for more money, they already have enough. They just have to change their priorities. Reading the financial history of the F-35 fighter jet will make you cry when you realize what could have been done with the money. But some people and corporations get very rich while exercising great financial irresponsibility. Many people lost their life savings in the banking debacle of 2006. Some were fortunate to have have social security - that the Republicans are trying to take away. Recall that when those same financial institutions cried for “bail out” money, they gave themselves $600,000 bonuses with it. My sadness is Bernie isn’t going to last forever. And I don’t see a mini-Bernie out there training to take his place.

TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸 ❤️

People often talk about utopia. If we didn't waste $2 trillion a year worldwide trying to kill each other, it wouldn't take long to get there. We spend money on the wrong stuff. -Carl Sagan

Now here's a politician who's actually saying what everyone's thinking!

This is the sole reason why I moved my family out of the country we were born in(USA) to move to Europe. If your going to steal from me through taxes; at least I get something to show for it. I get nothing from 700 plus military installations around the world, aircraft carriers, trucks, tanks, etc., etc.. Tell me how a country with 2 vast oceans for borders and with friendly neighbors to the north & south needs a military budget this large? China has a fraction of that budget and they have countries bordering theirs with nuclear weapons.

One of the very few politicians spitting facts

Food not bombs. That’s OUR money. ❤️Bernie!

A voice of sanity in all the madness! Much love Bernie from the UK x

I was wondering if anyone else noticed this year's defence budget was within .004 of $ 1,000,000,000,000

Workers of the world unite

Thank Sir Bernie for being the voice of the citizens of the US

None of this is new, just new to some of us. There is nothing we can do. Accept that you are powerless. You are a slave. You always will be. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

The sad thing is congress pays more in interest payments than they do on defence. Fiscal policy is so screwed up in America recently

Very sad state of affairs.

Thank you Sen. Sanders. I appreciate you speaking up about these issues. It is a shame that the DNC did not have the courage to make you president in 2020.... Yet, you continue on. Telling the truth with vigor and strength. Thank you. You are a real American.

Thank you Bernie🙏 keep keeping on!

Every time I listen to this man I have more respect for him. He’s America’s conscience.

but not for universal health care....

Bernie Sanders is a gem!! A beautiful soul!! The US authorities aren't tired of sowing death everywhere? I am in France and really, we have been jaded by your behavior for some 40 years. Keep your guns, keep your dollars and take care of your people. Take care of your unemployed young people, take care of your racists, take care of your poor differently by solving your problems than by the war debts that you make your people bear. You have a huge continent, with everything you need in it, in terms of raw materials, businesses, labor, etc. Stay home, keep your weapons and leave us alone!

How much of military spending goes to housing, Healthcare, and education of service members, veterans, and their families. These benefits are offered because we do not have mandatory service. Countries that have these programs for citizens have mandatory service.

America, Land where you pay for Water & Air

This is so accurate. Imagine what we could do if we quit wasting so much money on weapons of war. This would be a different planet.

I am from iran and yes i am completely agree with him about it i previously thought our regime in iran ignores us completely but now i know all goverments do the same unfortunately.

Thanks Beloved Senator Sanders! ❤❤❤

Thank you again, Bernie, for being so in touch and speaking truth. It must be so frustrating to have been continually talking about this repeatedly, year after year after year, and not being able to enact policy for change. However, you have helped to build the momentum of a movement that is gaining traction. Eventually the dam must break!!

My comment: I will never get tired saying this; God Bless Mr Senator Bernie Sanders ‼️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Yes sir. Thank you Senator Sanders

But no reparations for decendants of Slavery?😮

For the past 3 years my husband and I have lived paycheck to paycheck. I work one full time job with as much overtime as i can handle and my husband works 2 full time jobs. Every time we get paid 26% of our checks go to taxes and we still owe thousands each year everytime we file our taxes. There are no programs to help us when we are struggling, our rent has gone up 16% every year since the pandemic. We can't save for a down-payment on a home, and we want children, but there is no way we can afford it. What are we paying for? When will our government focus on the Americans that are struggling?

What is most annoying is a lot of our tax money is going to wealthier nations who have free education and health care for their citizens, while here in America people die because they cannot afford to see a doctor or pay for a prescription medication.

God bless you Bernie !! What words and how well spoken - “Wars ‘R Us , by Otis Carney lines it out clearly 30 years ago - a book that is as American as you can get - effectively censored - never change Bernie !!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍🙏🌏✌️

The one who got away, we'll always support you Bernie!

God Bless you truth speaking man!

Someone who has the decency to rise and talk about this elephant in the room. I applaud you mr Sanders.

Yes! Keep going, Bernie. We the people-and our government-deserve and deeply need your work.

Thank you, Bernie.

Salute to this man! An honorable politician!

What's worse is there's really no accounting for the weapon costs that are being built. It's a business. The gun manufacturers do the same thing.

If All Americans are well informed, they will work for independence from foreign entities (represented by the lobby).

Senator Sanders you are one of the few senators who have listened to and have their pulse on the American people's needs and desires. Conversely I have little respect for those who promote, send and spend enormous amount of tax payers money (billions of dollars) to fund war machines and do not adequately take care of the vulnerable and all citizens in the USA. Where is the economic justice for senior Americans, where is the economic justice for handicapped Americans and our veterans, where is the economic justice for Americans who have no or insufficient healthcare, where is the economic justice for those who are working yet not able to buy foods for proper nutrition for themselves or theirs? I could go on and on. Further, Americans neither want or need a dictator or any authoritarian leader (i.e.Donald Trump) who will attempt to impose a political system on Americans after the North Korea or Russia models of government. Americans must now develop a stronger mental and fighting spirit, resolve and the sticktoitiveness to convey and demand that those in the house and senate listen to us. In order to combat contagious apathy. "We the People" must categorically affirm that we will not relinquish our principles of American Democracy in any form to foreign or political ideologies that are not congruent with the America Constitution and Democratic values.

As always, Bernie is 100% correct. We need a congress full of people like him!

And congress doesn't even question or put an inquiry on why have of military funding is unaccounted for but makes welfare, the post office, and social security count every single penny.

A senior citizen who is for the people and is more mentally astute than most members of Congress, decades younger!

And most of that military spending doesn’t go to our troops & their families. As Bernie says, it mainly goes to contractors. He didn’t mention here that contractors often grossly overcharge or under-deliver & that many now do jobs once performed for much lower pay, (& sometimes to higher standards), by US troops.

I wish he would run independent, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.

He has my vote! Presidential candidate!!

Thank you Bernie....thank you!

I called my legislators again yesterday. It seems hopeless. Thank you, Bernie

RFK, Jr. has spoken out the most vehemently about this subject.

Thank you Mr Sanders.

Born Nov., 1945 in Oregon, and moved to California in 1948. Guess what? We had very decent new and government financed, housing, for all 7 of us, which gave us financially stressed people a good start in life. Mexicans, European white people, African Americans, Oklahomans--All of us together receiving Government sponsored good schools, housing, coaches for sports in the new facilities, free local health care and the support of reasonably paid jobs. All of this due to the ability to care for the population which was educated and supported. You could say that I have benefited, including almost free University, to become a medical doctor and have thrived in my ability to navigate a fair and prosperous country. That was turned on its head by 1980 when the disgusting pursuit of wealth started the rot that the U S has created. Dog eat dog country now. You want strength as an American? Then support each other as we were before.

Thank you Bernie. We all know you always tell truth!

😢 DEAR SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS, YOU ARE A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS. FOR THE MILLIONS OF CITIZENS OF AMERICA WHO HAVE THE SAME THING ON THEIR MIND, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GOVT DOING & FOR HOW MUCH LONGER? AH! PRAY PEOPLE PRAY! FREE SPEECH!

Senator Sanders! You are an example of what compassion means. It’s not the fassionable thing to stand up for ordinary Palestines!

I am proud to have Senator Sanders as my US Senator. Thank you for speaking the truth on these issues.

the safety of millions of human on the planet depend on the awareness of Americans. When they elect the same president or same category of president, they allow the continuity of the suffering of other people

Thank you Senator Sanders

I always am reminded how many lives the cost of a single drone could change. A single drone costs 10 times what a person makes IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE...

This man! He is the Senior Senator for Vermont and yet he is out here every day trying to make a difference for the 🌍🌎🌏🌐🗺️

*YOU* are what we need as a leader! President Sanders, we *NEED* you!

Bernie Sanders, a national treasure. These words and statements are true and golden. Thank you Bernie Sanders.

Unlimited money for overseas bombs, but zero help for starving, homeless people in America. This system needs to be scrapped and built anew, as our founding fathers recommended when the system stopped working.
