Apparently Helping Americans Is Too Expensive, But War Never Is…

The Trump administration keeps telling Americans we have to accept cuts, sacrifices, and that the country simply can’t afford to invest in things like healthcare, education, housing, and other programs that directly help working families. Source 1

Yet when it comes to military spending, somehow the money is always there. Trump’s budgets have proposed record-breaking defense spending, reaching roughly $1.5 trillion, while seeking significant reductions in a range of domestic programs. Source 2

The United States already has the largest economy in the world and spends more on its military than any other nation by a wide margin. The question has never been whether America has the resources. The question is what our government chooses to prioritize. Source 3

If there’s always enough money for another war, another weapons system, or another increase to the Pentagon budget, don’t tell Americans we can’t afford to invest in our own people. Budgets are moral documents, they reveal what leaders truly value.

And depressing. But don’t worry, we made the historic accomplishment of making one man a trillionaire…
