White House Cuts Vital Jobs While Funding Endless Wars
The Interior Department’s plan to eliminate 2,050 critical jobs, including over 330 at the U.S. Geological Survey and 770 in ICT and communications, isn't about 'efficiencies.' This comes as the Biden administration vigorously pushes for a supplemental aid package that includes more than $14 billion in military aid to Israel, alongside previous, substantial allocations. Recall HR 815, which passed
with bipartisan support, funneling billions for weapons globally while federal workers who protect our own environment face pink slips. One might wonder about the timing. We're told we can't afford essential domestic services, yet find limitless funds for foreign conflicts. How many 'temporary' blockades on job cuts will we see before they're quietly pushed through, while the budget for bombing
other nations remains sacred? The cognitive dissonance is staggering: jobs protecting our own lands are expendable, but missile components for a foreign government are essential.
