Red Cross Faces Cuts While DoD Gets Unlimited Stimulus
Funny how 'donor support' for humanitarian aid flags, but the taps for military spending remain wide open. While the Red Cross struggles, the U.S. House just approved another $14.3 billion in aid to Israel (H.R. 7217), on top of the $3.8 billion already committed annually, according to Congressional Research Service reports. One might ponder where America's priorities truly lie when basic human
needs are defunded to subsidize perpetual conflict. This isn't about fading charity; it's about re-prioritization. We're consistently told there's 'no money' for healthcare, education, or organizations tasked with alleviating suffering, yet there's always an infinite well for bombs and foreign military adventures. The 'America First' agenda apparently means 'America funds war first,' leaving
civilians caught in the crossfire to fend for themselves—often with fewer Red Cross workers to help. How many 'last warnings' will we get before funding human survival becomes as high a priority as funding human destruction?
