    It would save the US people money.

    Unfortunately, that money being spent has to go somewhere and that is directly into the pockets of the owning-class who lobby for policy to remain the way it is.

    They know it would save money, and they see that as a problem because money saved is money not spent and money not spent is profits that aren’t made.

      Also they don’t want to just have it good. They want to have it good while everyoen else struggles. They feel more satisfied this way.
