Marching for the wrong reason
Who are these people protesting government spending, for a cause that will make life better for most of us?
Why weren't they on the streets, during the last eight years to protest the drain of our treasury, to continue a war that we were tricked into supporting?
The greatest reason of all to protest would be the continuing loss of life in Iraq and Afghanistan, more than 5,000 of our finest young men, and untold thousands of catastrophically injured veterans hardly anyone mentions or wants you to see.
What a shame on us, the richest country in the world, that we are willing to spend whatever amount it takes to kill people, but nothing to keep our own population healthy and improve their quality of life.
