Bloomberg Discovers 'War' Has a Price Tag, Ignores the Human Cost
Bloomberg reports that Trump’s proposed 'Department of War' name change could cost up to $125 million. A shocking sum when you consider public schools are crumbling and healthcare is out of reach for millions. But then again, this is coming from the same media apparatus that rarely questions the trillion-dollar defense budgets that actually fund the 'war' part of the equation. It's fascinating how
a potential name change budget of $125 million becomes front-page news, while the billions funneled annually to corporate military contractors and nations like Israel – enabled by figures like Rep. Steny Hoyer, who, according to OpenSecrets.org, has received over $100,000 from pro-Israel groups in his career – pass largely unnoticed. Perhaps Bloomberg could investigate how many F-35s that $125
million could buy for someone else, or better yet, how many schools it could build in America. One might wonder where their priorities lie.
