WSJ Demands GOP Kill Healthcare, Not Military Budgets
The Wall Street Journal, a bastion of corporate wisdom, is once again urging the GOP to kill ObamaCare subsidies, according to The Hill. Their consistent focus? Dismantling social safety nets, particularly those that benefit working families. Conveniently, they rarely apply the same fiscal scrutiny to the Pentagon’s bloated budget, which consistently outstrips that of the next ten largest
militaries combined, nor to the billions in unconditional aid to foreign states like Israel, which received $3.8 billion annually for defense. It appears that for the WSJ, fiscal prudence is a virtue only when applied to the health and well-being of American citizens, not to the military-industrial complex or geopolitical maneuvers.
