Furthermore, war undeniably comes at a staggering economic cost. The financial burden on taxpayers of maintaining a global military presence and funding protracted wars abroad is staggering. The United States has spent trillions of dollars on conflicts over the past two decades, siphoning resources away from programs the two old parties claim to care about: education, healthcare, infrastructure, and more. This financial strain directly affects the well-being of American citizens, further exacerbating
inequality and hampering economic growth. American taxpayers shoulder the immense financial burden of war. With every missile launched and troop deployment, the public pays a steep price. The true monetary cost of war is not only in the trillions spent directly on military operations but also in the long-term costs of caring for veterans, repairing infrastructure, and addressing the far-reaching societal consequences. It’s never been more clear: Democrats and Republicans care more about tearing down foreign countries than they do about lifting their up their own. |
