Sanders Slams Pentagon Spending Amid Healthcare Crisis
As the US-Israeli war on Iran nears its fourth week without an apparent end, Senator Bernie Sanders has criticized the Trump administration’s potential request for an additional $200 billion for the conflict. Sanders argues this is absurd given existing military spending and the widespread financial struggles faced by Americans, citing unaffordable housing, healthcare, and childcare. This proposed funding could instead cover essential needs for millions, such as Medicaid, food stamps, veteran care, and expanded Head Start programs. The National Priorities Project further highlights the potential to address domestic crises instead of funding what they deem an unnecessary and costly war.
