Rand Paul Calls out the Military Industrial Complex: Why is Ukraine More Important than the Marines?

The Military Industrial Complex has become one of the greatest thorns of the American economy in recent years, as it has sent the country’s national debt to record levels. In many cases, some of our newest proposed spending does not include measures that will beef up our military strength. Instead, we are making ourselves weaker by funding other countries’ conflicts, and these conflicts do not even impact our national security.

The safety of Ukraine should not come before the well-being of our population. Local communities are struggling due to failed border policies, which is a national security issue, and middle-class Americans are paying the price of our country’s endless money printing through the new onset of inflation. The US government can’t afford to fund these endless global conflicts, and there are many more important national security issues on domestic soil.
