Less Killing....More Healing

Why is the USA an imperialist nation...seriously, we have military bases in most of the world's countries...as Ike warned in the '50s...beware the Military/Industrial Complex. Bring our troops home...close all overseas bases, with the exception of embassy guards...cut the defense budget in half...use the monies saved to bring a single payer/medicare system to all our citizens...and to pay down our deficit. At the same time...let's build up our infrastructure, our renewable energy sources...build automobiles and durable goods which are efficient and desirable...change our balance of trade from a deficit to a surplus. Create products that head the world into a positive, sustainable future.
