When $100 Feeds 100 Mouths

So Barack Obama won the nomination and Hillary Clinton officially acknowledged her defeat.


The most prominent thought in my mind is this: money.

Was that really our country's best way to spend those hundreds of millions of dollars? A bid for a position of power (one that is no doubt globally potent in its own right). But when they push for elimination of poverty, etc., what about all the money spent to get to the inevitable point where only one continues on. I admit I have no solution for the discrepancy this poses, if there even is a realistically plausible one, but...shit. How many more people could have lived?
