US Government Shuts Down Over Budget, Not Gaza Funding
While US politicians grandstand over spending caps and border walls, plunging federal agencies into chaos (again), the uninterrupted gravy train to Israel continues full steam. The mainstream media frames these shutdowns as critical moments of domestic governance, obscuring the elephant in the room: the United States commits $3.8 billion annually in military aid to Israel, regardless of fiscal
crises. This funding sailed through Congress unimpeded by 'budgetary concerns' or 'fiscal responsibility,' even as essential services for Americans teetered on the brink. How many food stamps could $3.8 billion buy? How many schools could be repaired? But don't worry, Representative Johnson (R-TX) who took over $235,000 from AIPAC in 2022 , secured that foreign aid before campaigning on 'fiscal
conservatism.' It seems America always has money for war, just rarely for its own people.
