THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

“Why treat depression,” said one official, “when you can just bless its heart?”
MEDICARE, which I have been paying into my whole working life, will be more than $100.00
higher than my private insurance through my employer.
Gee, I wonder how they're going to get rid of it? Make it expensiv
#Aipac approves this Pentagon budget and thats all they need
Where in the Hell are the Republican Congressional reps? Too scared of this idiot POTUS? I am so ashamed of Susan Collins our Senator of Maine.
Plenty of money for warmongering and trump's little Kim Jung style vanity parade, but when we want OUR money to actually come back to us in a way that actually benefits us...we don't have the money for that...
It's our money!
Get rid of him! He’s not going to stop this!!

Not so much from healthcare, housing, and education.
It really is that simple🤷
AND we pay $3600/month for med “insurance” for 2, bronze plan, no health issues; we’re afraid to use it since we don’t know what they WON’T pay until we get the bill, & 20% copay! What’s 20% of cancer?

You want the same as fully civilized countries have.
Well, you can if you go for it, but then you have to ignore all demands from the oligarchs & their demands for tax cuts.
Hand them tax increases instead.
America doesn’t want them fed, they want them dead.
Red and blue, they represent you, and they all represent you with One Trillion USD to wage war on the world.
Your taxes cut from civil service to fund a war waged against you.
Democrats, like their beloved Hillary Clinton, consistently voted against raising minimum wage.
It’s hard to get motivated to vote when the two parties are just different flavors of imperialism.
It seems more like another puppet, prioritizing the reality TV of politics, over honest and civil #CultureReform.
Prove me wrong...
#HumanReform
Many of us have had to deconstruct our worldviews and start again, looking at the world through a more critical lens.
How can Western politicians and MSM remain uncritical allies of a regime that is eradicating a people from its land through systematic violence?
Why in heavens name do we need to be spending a TRILLION on the military? Ridiculous.
Trump had an onerous PB down to Marred Lego.
and a high school reading level could get informative books…
WHO are we fighting or could fight?
There’s a $100 million unspent from his inauguration fund😱
"Why should my hard earned money go to feed someone else's kid. Why should my money go to take care of someone else."
These people are so fucking self centered they don't realize that person could be them with the right...accident
I develop cancer drugs, I support all things which improve Healthcare access and affordability.
If you get a free sample, that costs the company money, but it's still free to you.
Does freedom mean that a society uses no money? That'll be nice 😅
Like smooth roads, a healthy population benefits everyone.
I think I'd like to see people use slightly different language, but equally I think it's worth pushing back against the idea that that's an actual argument, vs. a deflection tactic.
Take a hard look in the mirror, and try to be a better person.

" Priorities "
Is this Donny 2 dolls newest grift to funnel money to Musk?
I would fund also
but, I also would have been screaming for cease fire at the top of my lungs after 1 month
if raping the villages is fair play, then so is turn about. 🤠
Congress kept moving budget items out of the DOD (nuclear, etc.) to other departments or other funding line items.
The interest on the republican debt topped a trillion dollars this year.
If you're planning for a defensive war, you've already lost
War is selfish, those who advocate for war are weak. If war had meaning then it wouldn't be solved by two men shaking hands
What I mean to say, is, why aren't we mass protesting (peacefully) everywhere and constantly?

this country does not suffer from a budget deficit. we suffer from a *moral* deficit.
Societies are for other countries. Booyaa.
1 trillion per year to pay the interest rate for your national debt.
You guys better start taxing the super rich and the churches or you might end up being bankrupt very soon. 🤔
“did somebody say misappropriation of funds?”
Though it doesn't explain America's historic over-militarisation.
Like, you truly have no concept of a narrative history of this country. And it’s willful; you simply choose not to connect the dots.
Tell me more about what you mean.
We have long been held hostage by the insecurities of fragile white men. Never more so than right now.

Canadian taxes include healthcare.
Maybe demand moneys worth for what you pay now.
But got nukes n military to massage?
Then pay half what you do now to government healthcare instead of to the business run companies who do it for profits.
At all costs.
I have been stewing on this since he signed the EO and her attitude in the press room. Her continued flagrant lies parroting his will be her doom. Enjoy. Save the date- June 14th!

Who’s gonna tell orange Hitler he can’t dictate how many dolls 11-yo girls get for Christmas?
They don’t give a fuck about the future.
You can NEVER satisfy the GREEDY
Nukes trump conventional warfare.
Russia threatens nukes but cannot
beat a smaller army.
The nukes allow them to continue in
an unjust invasion
without other nato
countries intervention.
Far too many people
for a peacetime military.
Active service troops?
Pay them, with all respect.
Veterans?
Give them their well-earned benefits.
Support for Ukraine?
Unqualified support.
New war toys?
I think some public debate is necessary…
Let’s do this!
It's wildly over-funded, and the money leaks out into corruption and waste.
Inspections keep turning up huge quantities of spare parts in storage that have rusted beyond repair without anyone noticing.
Also, why is the Pentagon still being funded when it's "unprofitable" (vs USPS), and taxpayers have a huge trade deficit against it.
THIS is where the 6 time bankrupt is heading; don't you all see that?
Yes, we **CAN** pay for healthcare, housing, etc., but we **NEED** to raise taxes across the board to pay for it.
But @alt-dol.altgov.info posted this up, which if enough people do go leave thoughtful opposition comments that address the actions proposed, it can help federal workers. We need those to maintain sustainable federal programs.
Everyone gives half the money to the government healthcare department they currently give to insurance companies.
The Healthcare Dept pays out the doctors and hospitals.
Household money saved and Healthcare earned.
Those without card qualify for lifesaving/necessary treatments.
Complainers don’t understand the math behind the expense of policing personal greed vs just managing universal healthcare.
As if big insurance cares about them. But it's what they're used to.
It's quite the grift.
✌️
Oh, wait, actually it was President Biden
The 1% can’t fix it but they need to be taxed more instead of stuffing themselves.
CALL it reducing the debt, but it’s not what’s happening.
We are so poor as an extremely wealthy nation that we can't even put in a high speed rail line between the 2 richest cities on Earth
Somehow we have the money to continue Reagans failed Star Wars plan
Plenty of money for warmongering and trump's little Kim Jung style vanity parade, but when we want OUR money to actually come back to us in a way that actually benefits us...we don't
have the money for that...
It's our flucking money
Military parades are for militaries that you can fit into a fucking parade. Not us.
Just saying.
