Last night's presidential debate: Not one word on military spending

The topic of military spending was the elephant in the room in last night’s presidential debate. So much talk about where the money is going to come from to pay for health, education and welfare proposals and not one word about Trump’s Space Force, the 800 U.S. military bases in 70 countries in the world, and Trump’s bloated military budget that many Democrats supported. It would seem that the military industrial complex is a more dangerous topic to raise than the call to eliminate the billionaire class. That’s why the word “socialism” is a more innocuous term than “imperialism” in U.S. political debate.
