The cost of the THAAD missile defense system the U.S. just sent to Israel to continue its genocidal war on the Middle East cost almost double the dollar amount FEMA paid out to victims of natural disasters last year.

MONEY FOR OUR NEEDS, NOT THE US-ISRAELI WAR MACHINE!

But think of the military industrial complex profits! How else are you gonna pay for the re-election campaign for all those senators?

There’s not much profit in fixing broken stuff, the money spent on disaster relief is gone. The only way to recuperate that cost is through taxes which takes a lot longer.
