US Women Ponders Exit While Biden Funds 7000-Mile Away Wars
The Independent reports one in five Americans wants to leave, with 40% of women aged 15-44 wishing to permanently exit. This sentiment tracks with a public increasingly disillusioned with a political system pouring billions into foreign wars. For instance, the US has sent over $113 billion to Ukraine since February 2022 and another $3.8 billion annually to Israel, with calls to vastly increase
that figure under the guise of 'aid.' Meanwhile, domestic issues like crumbling infrastructure, healthcare access, and stagnant wages fester. One might wonder if the women polled are simply exhausted by watching their tax dollars (and freedoms, post-Roe) exported, while the US remains the only developed nation without universal healthcare. Or perhaps when politicians like Senator Lindsey Graham,
who received $205,000 from AIPAC in 2022 (OpenSecrets.org), push for endless funding to Netanyahu's government, it just doesn't resonate with the average American trying to afford gas and groceries. What's more 'American' than seeking opportunity elsewhere when your own government seems to have forgotten you?
