Pence Group Applauds Bill That Funds Bombs, Not Your Healthcare
The Hill reports Mike Pence’s Advancing American Freedom is thrilled with the NDAA, calling its $895.2 billion in military spending 'aggressive.' This glowing endorsement comes as the same politicians routinely decry 'aggressive' spending on healthcare, education, or infrastructure. (Perhaps the 'freedom' they're advancing costs $895.2 billion and comes with a guided missile package.) While this
bill allocates billions more to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, one might wonder if that 'aggressive' budget provides a single dentist visit for an American child, or perhaps repairs a crumbling bridge. The prioritization is clear: corporate defense contractors and their political allies over basic public services, all under the guise of an ever-present, ever-growing threat.
