How Can 8 Million Citizens Slip into Poverty in the Country that Spends a Trillion Dollars on Wars?

in #usa4 years ago

The New York Times is carrying the findings of two studies about spending 2 trillion US dollars for 'care' and still be short of more while the impact is still negative?

Besides, isn't the US Pentagon's budget the highest in the world, to the extent it's more than the next 10 countries combined?

And who are the US enemies? The only time we knew of someone attacking the USA as per US official records were a group of unarmed men from a group a US agency created, that's the al-Qaeda created by the US's own CIA, so who are the US's enemies that needs that much of spending to the extent the US citizens are sacrificing their livelihood for?

Name a country that did attack the USA, or name a country that the USA didn't interfere in one way or another?

Thank God I'm not a US citizen, let alone not a US taxpayer funding the US spending on destroying the lives of tens of millions of people around the world on the account of destroying the lives of its own as well.

@arabisouri, First you must look at the breakdown of the disbursements of the $2.4 Trillion. then figure where the $$$ went. The citizens, and their healthcare got approximately $240 Billion, that's for 3110 million adults and children, Small business received $350 Billion. the Airlines received smowhere above $500 billion. Now that is only slightly about $1.1 Trillion so where did the other $1 Trillion go? Well, it went o the Billionaires and the wealthiest Corporations in America. "The rich got richer, the poor got Poorer" which has been the norm here for the past 45 years. No one will ever say that out loud in the world, but unless you have over a $million, you are screwed and our "representatives don't give a crap as they are to busy getting rich themselves.

Exactly, but also add to it that the USA can easily spend more investing in its infrastructure and wellbeing of its own citizens which would be cheaper than the spending on the humungous defense budget just to destroy other countries and the lives of millions of innocent people who many of didn't even bother what the USA is in the first place, or bother to worry about it..!
What did the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Yugoslavia, Chechnya, Ukraine, China, Somalia, Vietnam... do to the USA that made the US attack them by all means and methods? Trillions of US dollars spent on those interventions while half a trillion a decade would be enough to take the USA light years ahead of the second most advanced country in the world, think about that.
