Opinion piece says Rand Paul stands against senseless war!

BURLINGTON, Vermont (PNN) - December 2, 2015 - A report by the Soufran Group states that the Fascist Police States of Amerika government spends $9.4 million per day in operations against ISIS in Syria and Iraq. In 2011 an academic report covering additional areas of the “War on Terror” related spending estimated the cost to be $2.7 trillion, and long-term spending at $5.4 trillion including interest.

In March of 2015, “the Washington, D.C.-based Physicians for Social Responsibility released a landmark study concluding that the death toll from 10 years of the “War on Terror” since the events of September 11, 2001 is at least 1.3 million, and could be as high as 2 million.”

The total number of Amerikans killed is estimated to be 9,655 and total wounded/injured is in excess of 56,422. Our foreign policy has not been effective in containing terrorism. It has been effective in creating massive amounts of debt and a staggering level of human misery.

We are a nation that is nearly $19 trillion in debt. It is only a matter of time before our federal government will be crippled by the interest costs of servicing that debt. When that day comes, essential services will suffer and everyone will feel the life-changing burden caused by massive debt.

There is one candidate who truly understands the folly of foreign policy that has resulted in costly endless wars that we cannot afford. Rand Paul is the only candidate who can be counted upon to stand up to the special interests which thrive on our current, horribly misguided foreign policy. He is the one candidate who can be counted upon to oppose senseless war and equally senseless overspending. We know we can count on him because he has taken these stands publicly by filibustering Senate bills that reasonable people know will only make matters worse.

Rand Paul deserves the support of all Amerikans.
