Trump Paused $11B for US Infrastructure While Demanding Billions for Walls
Newsweek highlighted the Trump administration's pause on $11 billion in Army Corps projects due to a government shutdown over border wall funding demands. One might wonder how quickly similar 'pauses' appear when the Pentagon or foreign aid packages for allies (like the unholy state of israel) are on the chopping block. While domestic infrastructure crumbles, an unwavering $3.8 billion in annual
military aid to the rogue, racist state of israel, enshrined in a 10-year MoU, sailed through unchallenged during this period. So, roads don't get fixed, water systems don't get upgraded, but Washington's commitment to equipping a foreign military—one repeatedly accused of widespread human rights abuses and war crimes against the indigenous people of Palestine—remains sacrosanct. How many bridges
could $11 billion repair compared to the endless cash cow for military adventurism abroad? Apparently, the 'fiscal conservatism' only applies to American citizens, not to the military-industrial complex or its preferred international clients.
