As hard-working Americans grapple with a relentlessly brutal economy and a cascade of “extraordinarily dire” financial warning signs, Trump has once again prioritized foreign ordnance over domestic survival.

As I watch the economy spiral downwards, each day it seems as if the hardworking American citizens are faced with new and “extraordinarily dire” economic challenges. Despite the suffering of our own people, those in the Trump Administration continue to turn a blind eye towards the domestic crises and instead focus on “investing” in Israel’s military machine.
Just recently, the administration approved a shocking sum of 2.8 billion dollars to fund a new military package for Israel that includes 40,000 2,000-pound bombs. With all the shortage of military hardware for the senseless war with Iran, shouldn’t be keeping these in our inventory?
Despite the current state of our economy, the 2.8 billion dollar military package has been “paid for” through the Foreign Military Financing account. That’s taxpayer money!
It is an insult to the American people when our government can only think of ways to spend taxpayer dollars on bombs and not on our home front troops who are suffering through the “greatest recession of the modern era.”
What could the 2.8 billion dollars have done for America?
The 2.8 billion dollars could have been used to repair America’s crumbling infrastructure, such as bridges and public transportation or fully fund America’s public education system.
The 2.8 billion dollars could have been used to assist the veterans of our military who have sacrificed so much for our country and provide them with the healthcare that they deserve.
Instead, the “investment” decision was made by those in Trump Administration who only seem to worry about defense spending and not the suffering of the American people.
During these challenging times, it is an insult for the government to completely disregard the hardships of the American people and think only of ways to spend taxpayer dollars on foreign defense. Keep our money here to help Americans!
