America stands first in nuclear defense capabilities and first in nuclear defense expenditures among industrialized countries. And it's not even close!
But America ranks only...
14th in efforts to lift children out of poverty;
18th in the percentage of children in poverty;
And last (yes, last!) in providing health insurance for all children.
I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.

Last in providing health insurance to all children...amazing. The richest country in the world, but we can't provide children with what they need to be healthy.
