    That's a lot of food stamps to cut so bibi the nazi can keep his genocide running.

    Food stamps for the needy? Bad!

    Bomb stamps for a genocidal regime? Good?

    If welfare queens exist, then Israel is the ultimate welfare queen. Just sucking up money and never becoming a productive member of the world.

    I'd argue they're welfare fraudsters rather than welfare queens. They've got tons of money, most of the tech industry is connected to Israeli engineering. They're just also constantly getting even more money so they don't need to spend as much of their own money. Always best to waste someone else's money.

    It's not even money they are cutting from social programs, it's all borrowed. The ruling class are going for broke, we will be at 50 trillion debt by 2028 easy. I bet even more, all they need is a national emergency.

    So Israel's genocidal rampage is more important than winning in Iran, and all the US military over there are sacrificing their lives for no (useful) reason. I don't get why the right-wingers aren't more incensed over this crap.

    Once someone accepts hatred into their heart, they're easy to control, and most of these people have had 20 years of Islamophobia mainlined 24/7.

    They don't see humans anymore because their brain shuts off at "Muslim".

    And it's the exact same playbook used by every fascist. Give them someone to hate, and they'll let you do basically anything as long as you actively hurt the people you told them to hate.

    No, duh! They already won in Iran. Haven't you heard Dear Leader? Iran's utterly destroyed and the Strait is open! If you have high gas prices is because that damned Zelensky is bombing poor Russia's oil infrastructure!

    You pay for their bombs. The money they save allows them to have socialized healthcare.

    You bust your ass to keep your family with healthcare … and your government helps another country provide THEIR citizens healthcare.

    Let that shit sink in.

    Yep. This is the argument to make to Republicans. We pay for socialized healthcare for Israel. Ask them to explain why we can justify that while also making cuts to other international healthcare initiatives and denying healthcare to Americans.

    You also pay a crapton of taxes for heathcare in your own country. More than a lot of countries with socialised healthcare, in fact. You just then have to also pay even more for health insurance so you can then need to pay out of pocket for the lifesaving healthcare you've already paid twice for.

    The joke is that the US doesn't help other countries. It does things to look good but genuinely helping a country build up, won't happen, not unless there's a military motive or a motive to still have proxy control and liquidating all those those who don't commit.

    I can't imagine how it must feel to be a Palestinian-American refugee in the US.

    They're literally funding the genocide of their own family by paying taxes (as are the rest of US)

    I thought we needed those bombs? Didn't Biden cause the problem by giving away all our precious bombs to Ukraine, not TACO with his Iran war? So I guess the shortage must be over if we have enough to give to Israel. Such a relief to know we are safe again.

    Different bombs. These are dumb bombs, US can't get close enough to Iran to use these. They tried already and lost aircraft. So they have to use guided bombs and missiles.

    Israels genocide is uncontested, so they have no issues dropping dumb bombs.

    It was my understanding most of it was WWII surplus.

    The WWII surplus basically doesn't exist outside museums. The vast majority would have been used (especially in training) or updated. Even just chemical instability and environmental degradation would have made anything too dangerous to really leave in an arsenal.

    You don't need guidance systems when you're dropping munitions indiscriminately on women and children.

    These are big-ass bombs used to blow up schools and hospitals. We have plenty, since that's what we love doing. What we're short on is air-defence missiles, like patriots, since we aren't used to anyone bombing back.

    You realize that that debt is owned by rich people including him, right?

    He has loads of money, and the taxpayers are giving it to him and his family long after he dies.

    Wealth is about resources and assets. You also don't need bonds to be rich, and you don't need treasury bonds to own debt.

    Wtf would an 80 year old want bonds anyways? Unless they are maturing soon.

    Make a list of all the US addresses; When israel uses the bombs, some people should get a letter thanking them for buying the bomb that was just dropped on X location. Would be good for folks to know where their taxes are going

    Israel was founded by USA and UK after WW2 for a reason.

    Since founding, the USA has always funded their military. Not only did you buy the bombs, tanks, and so on, your parents did too, and your grandparents, and your great grandparents (if you are American, anyway). There's a reason that every President I know of has flown out to Israel and visited the Prayer Wall and worn the little hat. It's considered vital to our strategic interests in the area (that's not my assessment).

    ... and not only Israel! If memory serves, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have also received a lot of military aid.

    ... and money! So much money is funneled to ME, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, and more.

    There are few things in life that you can count on, and that's death, taxes, and US military aid to Israel.

    This is one thing that bOtH pArTiEs agree on, there's no "anti-Israel" voting option.

    It's not like USA has a free public healthcare to worry about, they need to spend our money on something, might as well be weapons... right?

    Remember fellow Americans, in midterm you better vote for Trump, let's kill more people, more kids, let's send more weapons to Middle East, what's the worst that can happen? 10$ for gallon? Daddy says its a small price to pay...
