Robert ReichForgive me for sounding like a broken record, but how on Earth are we supposed to believe we “can’t afford” paid family leave, universal pre-K, or climate action when our politicians are willing to pass an $858 billion annual defense budget without batting an eye?
mudsharkbytes@rbreich Virtually every politician from both parties is terrified of being accused of not supporting the military. It’s obscene how much we throw their way with virtually no oversight whatsoever.
And for what? We have this ocean around us and friendly countries to our north and south. Nobody is going to try to invade us.
And it’s been this way my entire life.
Then, as if that’s bad enough, they want to balance the books with social security, which isn’t even an entitlement.
