Why are we converting asphalt roads to gravel so Lockheed Martin can
build a fence in space?

U.S. total debt $55.6 trillion, U.S. federal debt $14.1 trillion, U.S.

multinational corporations (legalized by Citizens United vs. FEC) cut
education, close schools, convert asphalt roads to gravel and
accelerate America's loss of competitive edge to pay Lockheed Martin
and other repeat-offender federal contractors billions for "space
fences", Rube Goldberg weapons systems and myriad military and non-
defense boondoggles as unnecessary, unaffordable and unjustifiable as
our unending wars for oil and profit:
