Most Americans Want Subsidies, Congress Wants More War
"Most Americans want Congress to extend ObamaCare subsidies," proclaims The Hill, citing a KFF poll. A genuinely uplifting bit of information, suggesting a public desire for affordable care. What The Hill, and most corporate media, conveniently omit is the congressional appetite for other 'subsidies' entirely. For instance, in 2023, while these healthcare subsidies hang in the balance, Congress
swiftly moved to approve millions, if not billions, in aid to foreign militaries, often championed by politicians who've banked significant donations from groups like AIPAC. So, Americans want help paying for doctors, but their representatives are busy ensuring other nations can afford fighter jets. One might wonder if the 'public interest' changes definition once a check clears. How many polls
does it take for Congress to prioritize its own citizens over the demands of Washington's most effective foreign lobby?
