Absolutely true. Think on this, how obscene this is. The lack of humanity in our economic and political systems. Life in an oligarchy, where the parties play good cop/bad cop but the 99% continue to lose freedoms and to fall behind economically. No matter the party in power.
We can’t afford social programs while spending billions on defence reveals our failure as humans to live cooperatively. I just watched House of Dynamite which reveals the house of insanity we all live in.

The irony of this is that these programs save money in the end. Like providing housing over jail.
Public support programs are often framed as a burden to society, an expense that needs to be cut by politicians married to neoliberal economics orthodoxy, rather than as an investment in human capital and the public good.
