You think any of the billions we give them annually is being taken away from the DoD?
Ludacris.
The military budget isn’t paying for that.
It’s getting added to our debt, which will then prevent moderates and Republicans from supporting shit like universal healthcare or tax cuts to the least wealthy
Gotta say, didn’t think I’d have to break that down. Thought everyone in a political sub would understand
If you think that Republicans are against universal healthcare and progressive tax structures because the national debt is too high, then I also have a bridge to sell you.
They don’t support those things because it’s evil, evil socialism and makes rich people slightly less rich. Even if the debt was $0, they’d still oppose things like that. It’s who they are.
Both groups will use any excuse not to do those things.
But an extra 15 billion in addition to the like 1.5 billion Israel always gets is going to give them a great big debt to point to. And they won’t take that from defense spending.
It will be used to justify cuts to other shit we actually need.
When they don’t have a plausible excuse, theyre less like to get re-elected.
It’s why Netanyahu’s government doesn’t want to get rid of Hamas. They’d still do all the fucked up shit they always do, Hamas is just the best excuse they have
And debt is the best excuse “moderate” Dems have for standing lockstep with Republicans against progress.
Military budget has nothing to do with prescription drugs and groceries.
Wait…
You think the 15 billion Biden wants Israel to have is coming out of the defense budget?!

Your really keeping that armchair warm aren’t you.
