US families' power bills surge as Congress fuels foreign wars
Al Jazeera correctly reports that US families are reeling from cuts to solar incentive programs, facing soaring electricity costs. Meanwhile, the same legislative bodies that defunded these crucial domestic programs consistently greenlight seemingly endless military aid packages abroad, often with little public debate. For instance, in 2023, while solar tax credits faced headwinds, Congress
approved billions in aid, with Rep. Blankenship, who received over $300,000 from defense PACs and foreign policy lobbyists like AIPAC, voting 'yes' on every single one. It appears 'mind blown' is the new 'taxpayer bamboozled.' While your local utility bill becomes a second mortgage, Washington remains laser-focused on exporting democracy (and weapons). One might wonder if the sun shines brighter
on defense contractors than it does on American rooftops.
