One big difference is that we've leeched our military capability to the bone at the same time we've managed to give the most money in history out to a few corporations in unbid military contracts and gotten very little in return. The shutdown for seven years of oversight management aggravated the levels it reached.

In the meantime, none of that money reached any of our failing infrastructure (roads, healthcare, first-responders (the real security), education) which is all critical for the *majority* of businesses to thrive here. See, it wasn't about business in general --- just a certain group of "friends".

It will be the task of whomever wins the Dem nomination to *keep* the spotlight on that. And it will be the Repub nomination's task to divert attention from that.
