Newsweek: No Social Security This Week. Don't Ask About War Funds.
Newsweek helpfully informs us there's no Social Security payment this week, citing the predictable scheduling of federal holidays. (Apparently, the system needs a four-day weekend too.) What's less predictable is the media's selective amnesia regarding the lightning-fast allocation of taxpayer dollars for military aid abroad. While retirees wait for their next check, politicians routinely
greenlight billions for foreign military operations—often with bipartisan cheerleading. Consider, for instance, the consistent funding of conflicts and the latest 'aid packages' where billions manifest almost instantly. There's no 'holiday schedule' delay when transferring funds to governments with robust lobbying operations in Washington. Funny how a nation's ability to 'find' money
dramatically improves when it involves F-35s rather than fixed incomes for its own citizens. Prioritization, or just propaganda? You decide.
