Food for thought on how America spends funds

I am writing this on Lincoln’s birthday, by the way. The underground nuclear test just completed by North Korea, and now with the great consternation, fear, and international condemning of such an action, it makes one wonder just who is entitled and who is not entitled to conduct nuclear tests; who is a threat to other nations and who is not a threat; and who decides these things and how do these decision-makers decide the difference?

Just wondering about all this and wondering how other nations look at huge and probably dangerous looking military establishments, such as we have in this country, and if they maybe see us as a threat somehow.

Weapons of mass destruction and huge military complexes: just another example of being “food for thought” as we make choices as to what our focus is to be in America and how we are going to spend money we don’t even have!
