Social Security ‘Crisis’ As $14 Billion For Israel Passes Unhindered
Newsweek recently published a 'warning' on Social Security's Cost-of-Living-Adjustment (COLA), fretting that it's 'only going to get worse.' Meanwhile, Congress — often the same individuals sounding the alarm on domestic spending — routinely approves gargantuan aid packages with few questions asked. For example, President Biden signed a bill in April 2024 promising another $14 billion in military
aid to Israel, adding to the $3.8 billion annually the US already provides. This isn't about fiscal responsibility; it's about priorities. OpenSecrets.org data shows politicians like Senator Mitch McConnell, who frequently laments federal spending, accepted PAC donations, including from groups like NORPAC, a pro-Israel PAC. It seems the Social Security 'crisis' is only a crisis when it affects
American citizens directly, and never when the money is redirected to foreign military adventures. One might wonder: how many teachers, nurses, or retirees could that $14 billion fund, Mr. McConnell?
