Rall: You Shall Know Us by Our Priorities Ted Rall posted:You can tell a society’s political priorities by how it spends money. It would cost an estimated $10 billion a year in order to eliminate homelessness in the United States. Instead, the United States recently sent $40 billion to Ukraine.

Yes it's a pretty common observation that the American government claims there's no money for welfare, healthcare, or education because of the deficit, but somehow always finds a bottomless well of cash for more wars and MIC handouts. Rall isn't the first person to notice this no.

Yeah but they've all been banned and they only make gay trans shows now, and you're not allowed to look away from the screen when they do a sex, and you have to shout "black lives matter" to change the channel

If it takes $10 mil/year, then Ukraine’s support money isn’t a long-term solution? You could easily point at our bloated military budgets as a source of a recurring 10 million instead, but Rall isn’t influence by anyone. Nope. Not at all.

VitalSigns posted:It would solve it for six years Rall is instead going after aid to Ukraine, which is temporary even if we will inevitably dump more money into it. It’s just yet another cartoon in which Rall goes after the war when there’s a more logical target.

Pointing at a specific government program as why we're not solving homelessness is always a shell game to attack the program. I personally point to the F-22 Raptor, and Republicans point at volcano monitoring/shrimp treadmills/The Bridge To Nowhere... And yet we still have homelessness and increased government spending by more than $10b a year.

Pants Donkey posted:The defense budget is 3/4 of a trillion dollars. There’s probably ten billion we can open up for future years And? The government isn't doing that either. It's just a fact that we're spending enough money on this new war to solve homelessness for years. Changing the subject to the even more money the government is spending on even more war doesn't change anything. The numbers are what they are, we don't have to like it, but we can't deny the numbers. If you're for the war and you don't like that he is against the war you can just say that, much quicker and to the point.

The point is that he focuses on the war in Ukraine instead of the real issue, which is that the USA could almost trivially find that money somewhere, regardless of where, but there is no political will to do that because it would be helping the poor.

Dunno about you but I just assume bad faith on Ted Rall's part until proven otherwise. I think there's been maybe one or two occasions where this assumption proved inaccurate.
