I would add that increasing the military budget by $70 billion+ over last year is INFLATIONARY. Supposedly combating inflation is our top priority. But we pretend like military spending doesn't count. It's only used to reject spending on social programs. — PolitiTweet.org

But it's worse than that because we don't even discuss these tradeoffs. We don't talk about the tradeoff between more spending with military contractors and universal pre-K. We just always go with more military spending, no matter what. — PolitiTweet.org

The United States could have simply maintained its 2021 spending and had the largest military spending in the world BY A HUGE MARGIN But it's never enough. More. More. More. https://t.co/QhVc456TLO — PolitiTweet.org
