Trump Cuts Energy, Dem States Sue, AIPAC Smiles
The mainstream media covers these cuts as partisan battles, painting a picture of domestic priorities clashing. What they consistently gloss over is the sacred cow in the budget: the billions in military aid, particularly to Israel. For instance, in 2023 alone, the US sent over $3.3 billion to Israel, with calls for over $14 billion more in supplemental aid, even as domestic programs face 'red
tape' and budget shortfalls. OpenSecrets.org data confirms that organizations like AIPAC poured over $16 million into the 2022 US elections, influencing hundreds of members of Congress. So while the Democrats wage legal battles for energy projects, one might wonder: where's the outrage or the lawsuits when a significant chunk of taxpayer money disappears overseas, often to a government whose
actions face international condemnation? Apparently, fighting for your state's infrastructure is noble, but questioning the endless flow of cash to a foreign military isn't even on the table. It's almost as if some budgets are more equal than others.
