Homelessness Funds Cut While Billions Go Abroad
While states grapple with this potential humanitarian disaster, the same political establishment rarely finds itself in court over the billions funneled into endless military aid abroad. For instance, in 2023 alone, the US budgeted over $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel, a consistent outlay that rarely faces the same fiscal scrutiny or legal challenges as domestic poverty programs. One might
wonder where the national 'fiscal responsibility' truly lies when lives on American streets are pitted against geopolitical spending. It appears the political will to fund our own citizens with stable housing is a 'budgetary constraint,' but replenishing arsenals for foreign conflicts is simply 'strategic investment.'
