2019 Town Hall: on War & Peace


Cory Booker: War & Peace

We made & delivered bombs that are being dropped on Yemen Let's talk about military because a UN report just came out talking about what's going on in Yemen and America's role in this. We are ramping up militarization in this country in ways that not only violate our Constitution but violate our morals and we massive investments thinking we can solve problems with military interventions that often cause problems. Hello Iraq War. Hello Yemen.

We need to start to understand that this incredible amount of resources we're pouring into our military. We need to begin to not just bleed our economy trillions of dollars spent in wars overseas. [Investments that] will actually fuel our economy by creating a multiplier effect benefit in terms of economic growth, and in terms of jobs.
