Jackpot for Arms Contractors, Pain for Ukraine: Who Gets What From Congress’ $61 Bln Bag of Goodies?

Note by Fazal Rahman
US House of Representatives just passed the $95 billion spending bill for wars in Ukraine and Palestine, and preparations for war in Taiwan, while inflation of basic necessities of life is making them unaffordable to countless millions of Americans, and their Medicaid coverage is also being eliminated or downgraded by maneuvers of the so-called Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which has maintained a totally erroneous, flawed, and absurd system of measuring Federal Poverty Level (FPL) since 1963. I am not going into factual details of that here, but these can be easily found on the Internet. All these evils and injustices are being created by the elected representatives of American Capitalist-Imperialist Technological-Militarist Society, and implemented by the countless non-elected bureaucrats. They have all sold out their souls and intellects to the Real Devil, the CAPITAL. So has much of the electorate that constantly elects these replicas to all the federal, state, and local offices, frequently even against its own interests.
