Have you ever questioned why there’s always a new crisis that makes Raytheon execs rich, but mysteriously leaves nothing to spend on civilians here at home?

Imagine thinking that's why we don't have well-funded social services.

In 2020, when corporations that had just received three years of outrageously large tax cuts and stock buybacks were frightened of losing revenue, the Repub government fabricated trillions of dollars in handouts to pass around with little to no oversight.

It is not the spending on Raytheon that is preventing spending on citizens at home. It is that half the country has oppositional defiant disorder about any service or policy that would help poor people.

And this right here is an example of someone not knowing how their own government works.

And this is why we never have any money for investing in domestic programs to improve anything. If it's not Korea, it's Vietnam, if not Vietnam, it's Kosovo, if not Kosovo, it's Iraq, if not Iraq it's Afghanistan, if not Afghanistan, it's Ukraine.

It's absolutely not the reason lol. The reason you can't invest in domestic programs like universal healthcare or post-secondary education financing reform is because half of your fellow Americans oppose it, and vote accordingly. Convincing others matters.
