We’ve found a few hundred billion for another country’s wars, but can’t seem to find a dime for our own. How it started is inconsequential at this point. The person with the power to help is MIA and spending his time figuring out how to send even more of our money overseas, this time to support Israel’s genocide.
It’s true that military spending as a percentage of GDP has dropped over the years, yes.
It doesn’t change the fact that we massively neglect the needs of our own people in order to spend incredible sums of public money for warmongers, money said warmongers don’t need. It’s not enough that our military has bases in nearly every country on earth or that we’re running wars in seven or eight countries simultaneously, we’re now expected to find hundreds of billions more for other country’s wars too.
Canada spends 26 bill a year on war. Mexico spends 8 bill a year on war. We spend more than a trillion every year.
All while our people are suffering under a 30-50% cost of living increase and housing scarcity is accelerating.
The inflation and subsequent cost of living increase is a direct consequence of the covid stimulus packages.
Now remind me again who it was that started the money printing after the catastrophic handling of the pandemic.
If only people could eat excuses.

Fun Fact: Ever since the end of the Cold War every Republican presidency increased military spending while every Democrat president reduced it.

It’s obscene.
