The only safety net in America is for Wall Street & the Military Industrial Complex. American politicians could rather bomb hospitals in Iran than build hospitals here.

yep it’s always “how do we pay for healthcare” but never “how do we pay for another war”… priorities are so backwards 😔
not sure about the second paragraph
We deserve politicians that love us & the 8 billion people who call earth home. We deserve leaders like Bernie Sanders & Nina Turner who want to see humanity prosper, not be immeserated. What we have now are "leaders" who have lost touch with humanity. Who would rath...
It's especially ridiculous for healthcare because the US is already spending enough tax money on it to pay for one of the best univeral healthcare systems on Earth.
yeah, no. we should refuse to pay for this.
It is wild how we have infinite money for bombs but universal healthcare is considered an impossible luxury. The math only works when it benefits the military complex.

It’s because we’re ruled by a parasitic overclass that doesn’t see us as having any inherent worth. We’re only cattle to them. If we can’t pay more taxes we don’t even need to be alive anymore.
Every time regular people ask for healthcare or cheaper college the conversation turns into a full TED talk about fiscal responsibility. Meanwhile a war budget shows up and suddenly the printer works just fine. Funny how that works.
Funny how the country suddenly finds trillions in the couch cushions when bombs are involved but a clinic in a small town needs funding and everyone turns into an accountant overnight. My local hospital closed a wing last year and the explanation was budgets are tight. Apparen...
Because most politicians are bought by the defense industry. https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/sectors/summary?id=D https://truthout.org/articles/over-500-former-government-officials-are-now-lobbying-for-defense-contractors/
I love how collectively we, the taxpayers, want affordable or universal healthcare over endless wars. That’s how *we* want *our* money allocated and spent. Nope. It’s a giant fucking slush fund and It goes straight into corrupt and corporate pockets. Ad Infinitum. Healt...
Right… they are spreading our “democracy”. If they have healthcare elsewhere, we would need to remove it. As well as any other social support systems that are for people. Anything that relieves pressure off of a citizen to eat, buy, consume, die.. needs to go ASAP!!! They need...
One of the few things America still manufactures is weapons and consent for war.
I bet it has these costs assosiated cuz the bombs and missiles were already bought. Like they arent using new money like healthcare would require but using materials we already bought.
Only the defense industry is allowed to have Keynesian economic policies.
