  1. We really need to push a petition to end the ridiculous military spending: 13 aircraft fleets while all other nations combined only have 9; 3 of which aren't even nuclear powered as all of ours are. And bases in so many other nations as well as all the other spending: we spend the same amount as the next 7 highest military spending nations combined. It's absurd, utterly pointless. And smacks at the obvious: to keep the military contracts of various private producers in business. Of which I'm okay with to an extent if it were done on more technologically advancing things like space, energy R&D like the Wendelstein 7x project in Germany and the global project that the US is included that's being conducted in Switzerland: ITER. Create a major Vaccination and antiviral and cancer program that can make fast steps in treating various viruses like HIV, and various cancers. A medical project that studies methods to regrow nerve tissues to help people who have lost ability to use their limbs or to walk etc. Musk's idea of launching internet providing satellites. A housing program that reduce the disaster that is the out of control rent and housing prices. An actual universal healthcare program in this country that essentially all other nations even some poorer nations have. Let's stop acting like a 3rd world Banana Republic. I mean sure, one very good item came out of the ridiculous over spending on our military: GPS. Imagine if it was targeted toward such uses instead of sprayed out like a fire hose primarily on weapons and a few sprinkles eventually go to something civilly useful.
