- $4'000'000'000 for navy weapons
- $2'000'000'000 for air force missiles
- $500'000'000 for israel
- tax breaks if you own a race horse
- $600 for you
remember also that israel has universal healthcare while the US still denies millions of americans healthcare. tens of millions have lost their health coverage during the pandemic, because - for whatever reason - health insurance is tied to your job in your country
look at the wealth of your representatives, these are the people who decided what to put in that stimulus bill https://twitter.com/besf0rt/status/1341059108208844802

absolute madness https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1341146037470326786
also sry for the apostrophe instead of commas, it's a european thing
glad the US got their priorities straight! https://twitter.com/thr/status/1341106003581030404
also throw a little imperialism in there https://twitter.com/alanrmacleod/status/1341132209407836170
yup, basically https://twitter.com/peter_aronson/status/1341151938226872324
yes, there's also money for the wall in that "relief" bill. just incredible
important addition to the part about israel: while israel has medicare for all, they make sure to deny healthcare to palestinians https://www.juancole.com/2019/07/israeli-occupied-palestine-health.html
i think there is a word for this kind of system https://www.haaretz.com/.premium-huge-disparities-between-israeli-palestinian-health-care-1.5358335
palestinians have been hurting the most during this pandemic in israel. the WHO has condemned israel for their health violations against palestinians. don't think they're gonna see much of those $500 million. they won't even receive the vaccine until later https://apnews.com/article/pandemics-israel-epidemics-middle-east-coronavirus-pandemic-90e3bf9b17020e9f54d5961e0efed3a9
i should mention that all of this is part of the second stimulus package (2nd CARES act so to speak) the "relief bill" belongs to that https://www.google.ch/amp/s/financialpost.com/pmn/business-pmn/virus-relief-includes-direct-payments-tax-breaks-airlines-aid/wcm/c37abeda-d446-4862-9f30-cfef2442ede2/amp/
a huge chunk went also to these countries:
$453,000,000 for Ukraine, $130,265,000 for Nepal, $700,000,000 for Sudan
$453,000,000 for Ukraine, $130,265,000 for Nepal, $700,000,000 for Sudan
sry for the confusion: these "foreign aid" amts aren't part of the $900 billion stimulus bill which itself was tied to the omnibus bill, together forming the $2.3 trillion spending package
ofc you may not care abt that, bc it still shows that the money is there, just not for you
