These bloated contracts drain public funds from housing, healthcare, and climate action. It’s corporate welfare in camo.

This is for @reaper-z.bsky.social as a cursory illustration of american military activity in wars and conflicts since WW2.

This is why the US is now in decline. The cost of maintaining US interests around the world has seen their debt soar, which goes some way to explain the MAGA phenomenon.

This is the principle reason why after every election wealthy donors still control your elected government.

When overall voter turnout falls below 50% the message is that the system is not truly democratic or representative. Only then will genuine reforms be possible.

Ok, definitely my final comment on this latest budget fiasco.

In response to wealthier critics who are still smarting over tax increases - the OBR was enshrined in law in 2011 as a politically neutral (?) body independent of government to prevent manipulation of the data for political purposes.
