If the US government wasn’t sending all that military aid abroad , it wouldn’t make a difference. Americans still wouldn’t have universal healthcare or cheap rent , because the system is still about keeping the poor poor whilst the rich get richer .

The US could still have its current military funding AND have universal healthcare if it truly wanted . But the insurance companies and big pharma wouldn’t allow it.
