the latest biden border fascism bill included sixty billion dollars for weapons for ukraine, which is (no bullshit) enough money to give every homeless person in america a hundred grand
I remember at the very beginning of the Ukraine war as aid packages began to be delivered people talking about how the things we were giving them, despite the billion dollar price tags, were all expired or outdated equipment that the US was ordinarily only paying to warehouse or paying more to dispose of and so giving these billions of dollars worth of equipment to Ukraine was actually saving us money.
I have no idea if that had any bearing on reality but it surely is no longer true, now we’re just pouring starving American children’s food into the gun barrels of another made up war?
Now the line is that the sixty billion dollars costs us nothing at all, actually, because it will all be given to american defense contractors and thus their workers so the money is staying inside america (?)

Hear me out: what if instead of helping people get houses, we instead spend a hundred grand a pop on making brand new skeletons in eastern Europe?

Oh yeah, those defense contractors famous for how their profits are turned directly into prosperity among the under-priviledged…
