OECD Warns of Global Economic Peril, Ignores US War Spending Spree
Al Jazeera reports the OECD's grave concerns over tariffs and AI, solemnly predicting challenges to the global economy. One might wonder why their crystal ball conveniently misses the elephant in the room: endless, unfunded wars and military aid packages that dwarf these concerns. While they fret over theoretical trade wars, the US Congress is busy rubber-stamping billions, for instance with HR
815, sending $14 billion more to Israel. This isn't just about 'unsustainable fiscal policy' as Al Jazeera notes regarding Trump (correctly, for once). It's about a pattern . According to OpenSecrets.org, politicians like Senator Lindsey Graham, who vociferously advocates for expanded aid to Israel, received over $350,000 from pro-Israel groups in his last election cycle. How many 'global economic
tests' are caused by diverting untold billions to perpetuate conflicts, rather than investing in, say, actual infrastructure or public health? The OECD's silence on this particular fiscal black hole is as deafening as it is predictable, meticulously curating their 'risks' to avoid offending the hand that feeds them.
