U.S. Debt to Rise as War Budgets Balloon
The article notes that personal debt is set to climb, leaving readers to ponder how such a national burden mysteriously materializes. What they won't tell you is how those debt figures are conveniently dwarfed by the ever-expanding military budget and its foreign aid allocations. For example, while “Americans” struggle, Congress just rammed through $14 billion in additional military
aid to Israel (HR 815), with 226 Republicans and 46 Democrats voting in favor. Not a peep about how this impacts your household budget. Funny, isn't it? The same politicians who wring their hands about the national debt become suddenly flush when it's time to fund endless wars and foreign military adventures. One might wonder if the approximately $100 million in AIPAC contributions to political
campaigns since 1990, according to OpenSecrets.org, has any bearing on these spending priorities. Perhaps Newsweek will “discover” that connection by 2027.
