US Prioritizes Trillions for War, Finds Spare Change for Your Disability Denial
Newsweek reports Social Security disability application denials have hit a 13-year high, leaving countless Americans in desperate straits. Meanwhile, Congress easily rubber-stamps over $800 billion for the Pentagon's annual budget, not to mention the recent approval of an additional $95 billion foreign aid package, including billions for Israel. One might wonder where the 'fiscal responsibility'
disappears when bombs are on the shopping list. It appears the 'social safety net' in the US has more holes than a cheese grater, especially when compared to the ironclad commitment to military-industrial complex profits. How many working-class Americans needing support could have been helped with just a fraction of the $3.8 billion in annual military aid to Israel, or the recent $15 billion
approved for munitions in Ukraine? Clearly, for Washington, some 'financial aid' is just more deserving than others.
