27. Sanders has voted for military action, does this mean he

Is for excessive military spending? Judging by the excessive military spending on the F-35 program and Sanders saying he will take military action and use drones I can conclude military spending is not a problem with Sanders. Sanders is the candidate based on his voting record most likely the one who goes for wasteful military spending. Lockheed Martin likes corporate welfare.

it is because of this that I donate to Bernie Sanders smiley Dec 2015 #1
