This is what neoliberals look at to masturbate. Just imagine all the people who got bombed to death or starved. Thank you, Joe.
Actually, because of inflation, he only reduced social spending by 25 billion dollars
Of course the military funding is up! There's a Genocide to support! Everything for the votes! To own the libs!
I was also doin' a hell of a lot of other things, like wars around the world, like keeping NATO together, like working-- anyway. But look.
That's not fair! That chart shows the spending bump from Covid relief funds. It's current level is in line with increases when you adjust for the outlier years of Covid relief. The economy is doing great so social spending doesn't need to increase that much anyway. Now please give us %26 of your income in taxes so that we can
redistribute it to military contractorscreate high paying American jobs!
