Debt Erased for Millions, But Not the Bills for Endless Wars
While $6.5 billion in debt relief is commendable, it's a drop in the ocean compared to the hundreds of billions in aid and lobbyist money facilitating endless foreign entanglements. For instance, the US provided $3.8 billion annually to Israel under the current Memorandum of Understanding. That's over half the 'erased debt' figure, every single year, without a peep about fiscal responsibility. How
many '$6.5 billion wins' could we have at home if we stopped funneling billions into defense contractor pockets and foreign military adventurism? It appears that domestic fiscal prudence is reserved for the plebs, while the military-industrial complex enjoys an open tab. One might wonder if the real 'debt' is the one owed to the American people for these misallocated resources.
