spaceghotiHouse Republicans: No Aid for Israel Unless Rich Tax Cheats Get a Break
BlackmistWhy the fuck does Israel need aid anyway?
They’ve got nukes. Anyone with nukes does not need aid. You give up your right to aid when you have them. That’s how it works.
SybsApparently not. The US sends billions to Israel every year.
icedterminalOur taxes at work. I’d much rather defund Israel and just continue supporting Ukraine. Take all that money we send to Israel and use it to fix our own problems.
Yeah, won’t be used for that either unfortunately.
It’s weird how there’s never enough money for anything the people want, but as soon as you stop paying for one thing, that money isn’t available for anything else.
They passed a bill in the 90s to appease the Republicans that explicitly says that budget cuts may not be used for social programs, but I cannot manage to find the damn thing.
Our economy is entirely MIC-based. All other manufacturing is gone. The US is a failed state.
“We used to make shit in this country, build shit. Now all we do is put our hand in the next guy’s pocket.”
I work for a company that employs manufacturing labor and pays minimum wage ($15/hr). Even the local coffee shop pays more than minimum wage.
Manufacturing jobs left the US because that same $15/hr could be $2/hr or less in another country and the job SUCKS. The only way to manufacture effectively in the US is to have things be almost exclusively automated and then the money goes to the very few anyway.
I donjot buy that BS. They left the US because they were invited to by the US government after beating the fuck out of the labor force and telling them that unions were anti-American. The entire reason for the trump movement was loss of rural county manufacturing jobs.
Especially when it’s their spies who stole our nuclear bomb plans and made their own.
