The House just passed an $840 billion defense bill, supposedly to ensure our national security. But economic security IS national security and most Americans are not economically secure. Where’s the $840B for that?

And the tanks and the bombs and the bombs

And Dems are on board with this. So much for “Team Blue is better than Team Red” gaslighting.

That's disingenuous. Remember the whopping COVID relief packages? Remember the infrastructure bill? National defense is a specific thing that involves maintaining the greatest military defenses in the world.

The elite are ensuring their own economic security. We the working class have no representation, let alone consideration. Our only recourse is to organize and show force in numbers, which requires us to stop fighting amongst ourselves, and start fighting the ones w/ actual power

The wars the US are creating are making the US citizens and the entire world less safe. They would be better off dropping military expenditure and putting that money into their people.

FED BS💩Update: FED increases balance sheet by $4BN ($3.3BN "other assets") the same week that CPI prints 9.1%! USTs up $1.1BN and MBS flat despite supposed QT plans. FED is clearly serious about fighting inflation...

Worst part is, Soldiers get LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE... So what the fuck is all that money actually going to?? Shows $1833.30 a month, paid in 2 disbursements, for $21,999.60 a year for those with 2 years or less in... Why so many families get Food Stamps dfas.mil/MilitaryMembers/pay…

It’s funny I just went to the #CNN site and it doesn’t show up. Always money for defense spending but leaving Americans high and dry during economic castration and a health virus.
