Hernandez: Why is there always money to bomb children in Gaza, but not enough to make sure every kid has a safe place to sleep in this country. We don't have a budget crisis. We have a crisis of our values

I agree why fund a mission to Mars and not have enough to feed the elderly & school children, but then there will be pix of prosperity gospel leaders all praying over the orange haired devil..
All civilized countries cover health care for their citizens. Americans pay “For Profit Health Insurance Companies” for health care! They go bankrupt with bills & fees-when it should be Free! Oxymoron ! What a joke. Our schools are under funded & Vets don’t get the services & care they need.
crying about there being money for jails or the military is just so stupid. you can make the case for funding after school programs or whatever else without saying dumb shit like pretending we don't need jails for criminals or a military isn't needed with countries like russia and china around lmao.
Neither did she say we shouldn't have a military; or jails. Quit being obtuse. Anyone with 2 functioning synapses knows she means we incarcerate more people than any other country in the world; and 500lb bombs work on tents just as well as 2000lb.
so make your point about what crimes you want to decriminalize then because taking funding away from jails doesn't improve conditions for the prisoners you're pretending to so deeply care about. less jails/more crowding doesn't improve conditions. same thing applies to the military. worse outcomes.
Not a clue. I never said that or anything resembling anything of the sort. 🤣🤷♂️ But... on that note, countries who have reinvested money from correction to prevention have had a lot of success. The key is prevention and treatment, and micro grants to get people back to their trade and productive.
What are you so afraid of, that the only thing you will fund in the world is misery? How many people just living their lives will you blindly accuse of being a threat? Why buy a gun when you can take trazodone like a goddamn adult and shut the fuck up? All cruelty springs from weakness. Do better.
nothing you typed makes any sense. grow up peter pan, real life isn't a disney movie. you think ukraine would be better off right now without a military? you think taiwan would be better off without a military? normal people read this drivel people like you post and move more to the right. do better
Do you actually know how OBSCENELY MUCH the US already spends on its bloated military? How much it would have to cut, either as a percentage of GDP or a raw number, to be anywhere near normal proportions or even the next military down the list? I’ll wait.
go figure, being the preeminent world super power responsible for ensuring world war 3 doesn't break out means that you have to have the best military on the planet by an overwhelming margin. there's always room to split hairs on cost but the US will always be the most expensive because it has to be
having an overwhelming military strength is a war deterrent. the closer the delta closes the closer we get to war (and we are getting closer to war as countries like china close the gap).
you gonna make the case that life was better for the world during the years of 1914 - 1945 next?
SPLIT HAIRS? Motherfucker. The world’s largest military by over HALF is the U.S. and the THIRD largest is JUST OUR POLICE.
That is BAD. That is NOT HEALTHY. It’s the policy of a toddler who breaks toys to get his way while the civilized world is focused on problems that actually matter.
We definitely had a crisis of values, of right and wrong. We don’t however spend $ to bomb Gaza. We make money selling defensive arms to Israel- I’m not saying this is ok, but clarity is important, knowledge is important.
Yes this exactly. Why do so few people actually understand this! Although i might quibble on the “we make $” part. Defense industry profits from this American aid. Not sure that’s “we.”
Yes- we is clumsy. Even USA would have been better. Defense industry is best but I do believe the government profits monetarily somewhere along the chain.
Maybe the US isn’t directly bombing Gaza, but they are indirectly supporting a genocide on the Palestinian people. More than 40,000 Palestinians have died- mostly women and children, and Israel have denied Gaza humanitarian aid. It’s a scandal
The point of my post was to correct a statement re the US buying weapons to bomb Gaza. You may want to reread it in its entirety. I think your reply would have more meaning as a stand alone post.
1000% this. We need to focus and fight like adults and vote. I know we have goldfish brains in the US and a lot can happen but the #midterms2026 are our last shot. If we unite we win. Also, Bernie is not a dem.
We are the richest nation in the history of humanity. We have enough to do all of what we want AND pay down the debt. The rich will need to pay fair taxes. They take and take and take. They don't need all that they have.
I worked for a nonprofit that served families and individuals in poor cities, and I heard similar rhetoric, usually from young men, disparaging aid to Ukraine.
“If we are serious about fighting fascism we have to dismantle the system that upholds it.” Wow, what BS. This is why I can’t stand this crap MAGA and the Bernie bros are no different they both want to dismantle our system of government until we have nothing left.
As a mother in Gaza, I can tell you — there’s always money to bomb our children, but never mercy to protect them. It’s not about budgets. It’s about a world that decided our kids don’t deserve to dream, or even to live.

They are all screwing us over and why we should trust, care, believe in this regime because I’m very concerned about many things including social security, Medicaid, economy and democracies across the globe. #Demvoice1 🤨🤔🤬
Any one who merely thinks a crit is the problem really does not understand the problem or the people involved.
Israel has 100's of thousands protesting in the streets, you care so so much but can't even do the 1st thing to learn of what you care about. You are transparent. Your TL mention hostages?
They also do not distinguish between defensive aid and $ that helps in offensive pursuits. If the $ for defense was eliminated Iran wld rain down missles that wld hit instead of being intercepted. They wld have as much concern over Israeli life as they did on 10/7, none.
And I’m sure having a rally in friggin LA is bound to help us flip control of Congress! Really laser-focused on those flippable districts, these folks.
"Why is there always money to bomb children in Gaza, but not enough to make sure every kid has a safe place to sleep in this country"?
Obviously because Trump is putting America First and keeping it out of foreign conflicts.🙄
She's on fire and dead right. Many developing countries waste vast sums of money on security (vicious cycle) that could be used for education, healthcare, etc. (positive feedback loop) Budgets represent our vision of the future, and the current regime's visions are breathtakingly stupid and bleak.
She could've added in the golf, flights to Fla, parties, sports visits. He's the fraud & waste. As kids go hungry, parents can't pay rent & seniors are pretty much left to die.

Nonetheless, this is the kind of thing that needs to be kept a million miles away from the Democratic Party's national message.

b) we are the biggest THREAT of WWIII breaking out; we ain’t “preventing” SHIT
c) overlarge military and paramilitary forces pose danger to their OWN people first.
It is very troubling.

Of course no mention of hostages and 10/7.
These folk do not work to achieve a Dem majority.
That said, at least MAGA sides with Israel.
