$1.15 Trillion for defense with an extra $78 Billion in "emergency" funding for the Iran War. Remember "we can't afford" domestic spending on poverty reduction, or healthcare or education....

    @virtualbri@mastodon.online I hate the American machine but loathe conservatives in particular so much.

    @virtualbri@mastodon.online There isn't a "return on investment" on those things. Nevermind that countless studies have shown that people who aren't suffering poverty, who are healthy, who are well educated, are more productive... but they also cost them more. So "low ROI". Where as ROI on war? Well, it makes their toxic masculine egos feel bigger, so that's well worth it. 🤮

    @virtualbri@mastodon.online remember that Trump needs his cut so at least 5% is headed to his offshore accounts

  • @virtualbri@mastodon.online poverty reduction, healthcare, nor education pluck the tuning fork in the loins of the bigots in the death cult.

    @virtualbri@mastodon.online The grift his family is making off of his being POTUS is more than enough to fund all the things
