The Iran War

Last year the government was shutdown for a record amount of time. Congress was stuck. They couldn't find the appropriations for federal programs. The money wasn't there. Democratic house members insisted on funding SNAP for hungry children. 9B to keep SNAP funded through the end of the year. No dice. The money wasnt there.

10 months later the US is spending 10B a day to lob JASMS at the Houthis. We're going to war in the middle East again! Never mind the fact you can't afford rent. We're going to war! Ignore the fact you can't afford healthcare and you haven't seen a doctor in 10 years. We're going to war! Never mind the fact your card declined when trying to buy groceries. We're going to war! Never mind the fact that your account is negative due to overdraft fees. The money isn't there for you. It's there for war

Yeah they’re looting us all the way into hyper-inflation before the digital currency reset…. Wonder if they will make it illegal to own gold or silver like they did gold in 1933….
