	Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips USA paralyzed by Iraq clipped by: masbury clippers remarks: Like Johnsons "Great Society", which fell over Vietnam, a host of domestic issues go un-addressed, as $3 trillion goes to Iraq Clip Source: www.nytimes.com Other nations can provide health care for everyone. The United States cannot. In an era in which a college degree is becoming a prerequisite for a middle-class quality of life, we are having big trouble getting our kids through high school. And despite being the wealthiest of all nations, nearly 10 percent of Americans are resorting to food stamps to maintain an adequate diet, and 4 in every 10 American children are growing up in families that are poor or near-poor. The U.S. seems almost paralyzed, mesmerized by Iraq and unable to generate the energy or the will to handle the myriad problems festering at home. The war will eventually cost a staggering $3 trillion or more, according to the Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz. When he was asked on ?Democracy Now!? about who is profiting from the war, he said the two big gainers were the oil companies and the defense contractors. Lyndon Johnson?s Great Society, which included the war on poverty, was crippled by the war in Vietnam. Tags: foreign policy, poverty, iraq zum Artikel...
