While the president has stood strongly behind Israel since Hamas attacked, he said on “60 Minutes” that a new occupation of Gaza would “be a big mistake.”
In fact, the US could fund a few wars and conflicts, end homelessness, implement socialized healthcare and fund the world’s best public transit system with affordable high-speed trains between cities simultaneously.
But they don’t because they don’t want to, not because they can’t.
That homelessness and hunger are not ended in the USA is not because the money needed is spent on other things, it is because the government doesn’t want to end them.
The USA could end homelessness or hunger (and maybe both) nationally for the amount of money we sent to Israel each year.
No, no they could not lol. Not even remotely close.
The US spends $2 Billion a year on aid to Israel.
They spend $105 Billion a year in direct payments to SNAP (food stamps) recipients.
And $32 Billion a year on section 8 housing vouchers.
It’s almost as if throwing money at free handouts doesn’t fix the problem.

2 billion dollars won’t solve a single thing, nationally.

Where could I learn more about that?
Sadly it doesn’t exist in the US, you would have to look to China and Japan.
Ok, but how do you figure the cost?

For real. Every day they wake up with the ability to end hunger, or end homelessness, and they decide not to do it.
Sick fucks.
