This is Why You Always Lose

If Israel didn’t exist most of the people in the US congress would not even have a political career.

Freshly elected U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson uses the occasion of his first address to announce his unwavering support to a foreign power.

Speaker Johnson pledged to immediately put forward a bill to aid the so-called State of Israel.

The President has already made a request for 14.3 billion dollars in funding for Israel (https://www.npr.org/2023/10/20/1206301577/biden-ukraine-israel-congress-funding-request), one of the single largest aid packages ever requested.

It is worth noting that 20% of the population of Johnson’s home state, Louisiana, lives in poverty.

(https://www.labudget.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/LBP-Census-2021-Released-2022-2.pdf)12.4% of Louisiana Whites live in poverty, or 320,000 people.

17 million Whites live in poverty throughout the United States.

Millions of Americans live with unsafe drinking water.

(https://infrastructurereportcard.org/cat-item/drinking-water-infrastructure/)195 rural hospitals have closed in the US since 2005. (https://www.axios.com/2022/07/14/rural-hospitals-face-financial-jeopardy) Often in overwhelmingly White areas such as Appalachia, Pennsylvania, or the Plains states.

Rural schools are also suffering from a funding squeeze (https://www.americanprogress.org/article/make-rural-schools-a-priority/), effecting millions of White students in states like Michigan, Missouri, Tennessee, and South Dakota.

The list of policy and funding priorities which come before the so-called State of Israel is long.

But they don’t care about you.
