A lot more can be done than is being done. If they would cut millitairy spending and stop having wars every time we turn around and use said money to actually help people...The chances of that happening are zero though.
I'd be happy if the U.S. could just stop making up new kinds of wars. I mean, I get that we can't declare war any more like we used to, because then there'd be laws against war profiteering. Even still, we're at seven wars right now — Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, and Niger — more, depending on how you count. We're at hot war in most places; in seven out of every ten countries. It's not enough. It's never enough.
