The United States is the wealthiest and most powerful nation in human history. We have sent people to the moon, split the atom, and created the information technology that will define the next era of human history. Despite these great achievements, we have left far too many of our fellow citizens behind. This is reflected in our budget, which allocates over 53% of our discretionary funds to military spending, while only 15% goes towards social programs. This is not sustainabl...e. We cannot continue to thrive as a nation while millions of people don’t have health care or a decent home to live in. Plain and simple, we must put the needs of poor people in the center our policy debates. No mother should have to bury their child because they couldn’t afford health insurance, and we must fight for a world where that never happens again.
