KENNEDY: Well, we’re — the Democratic Party at this point has become the party of war, which we have never been before.
We have sent $113 billion to Ukraine, and the entire budget of EPA is $12 billion. The budget of the CDC is $12 billion; 57 percent of Americans could not put their hands on $1,000 if they have an emergency; 25 percent of Americans are hungry.
We have a crisis right here in this country. And I think a lot of Americans are feeling like they’re tired of the forever wars. They’re tired of this being a warfare state abroad and a surveillance state at home, and they want to get rid of the surveillance here, the wars abroad, close the 800 bases, or many of them, that we have abroad.
We’re spending $1.1 trillion a year on military — on a stealth bomber that costs a billion dollars and can’t fly in the rain. We should take that money and build schools in this country, invest in infrastructure, create jobs here.
Our real national strength is going to come from economic power and a robust economy and a robust middle class, and not from projecting military power abroad.
