US Factories Drowning in Unsold Goods While War Machine Churns
The Telegraph reports U.S. factories are reeling from an 'unprecedented' surge in unsold inventory. This economic anxiety, however, appears to be a selective affliction. While American shelves sag, the military-industrial complex shows no such glut. Conveniently, politicians who received millions from groups like AIPAC, such as Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) who received $126,000 from AIPAC in 2022 ,
continue to push for more military aid, like the recent $14 billion to Israel . It's almost as if some sectors of the U.S. economy are recession-proof, particularly those manufacturing tools of destruction for foreign entanglements. One might wonder why domestic demand can vanish overnight, yet the appetite for armaments abroad remains insatiable, consistently subsidized by American taxpayers,
ensuring no 'unsold stock' crisis for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, or Boeing.
