Here's a link to the paper referenced by the article. Not sure why it wasn't included with the article. Anyway, this chart stood out to me:
Don't believe or respect anyone who says the White House is working on a ceasefire deal. This administration has clearly been working on just the opposite.
You should post this to /c/usa and /c/palestine, its a good one.
Edit: I got antsy and did it.

Well, they're working on their deal with Israel that will eventually lead to a cease-fire after they're done levelling the place for condos.
70%... This is insane. A country that cannot "afford" genearal public healthcare. How is there no revolution happening in the US?
Because any revolution we may attempt would wind up in an immediate blood bath.
If we try to strategize and form and militia, one of the 3 letter agencies if not multiple would infiltrate and have us all locked up before we could actually get anything done. That or just kill us all because as civilians we are massively and i mean massively outgunned. Hell The national guard could wipe out any militia in the making on its own without ever needing backup.
Our only shot would be to attack very quickly in short waves but that would be impossible as we couldn't organize
In short it's just not possible. From a strategic stand point as well as a man/ arms standpoint.
Forget affording public healthcare. Universal healthcare for all is actually estimated to decrease the overall healthcare spending for the country — problem is it would also decrease corporate profits.
That would cause GDP to go down. And we all know line can NEVER go down
Massive massive efforts and cash spent on propaganda, basically
Fucking stop. I want healthcare dammit.
Don't be silly, the US doesn't help people, that's un-American commie shit.
Would be nice if that money went into schools, medical, housing...etc
It goes into bombing schools, medical, housing, etc.
Well in a way it does...
even if we stopped funding the zionazis that money would just go to some other war
::Insert no money for anything but war meme::
Wow the MIC is going to collapse when kamalacaust ends the "war". \s
Just like post-WWII Europe with the Marshall plan, the "miracle" development of Israel, even outside of arms spending, is based on American money
It's so easy, if they just diverted half of their military spending to development funds, the world would be on its way to post-scarcity everywhere, and there would be little need for armies. But they'd risk losing top-dog status, and that can't be allowed.
Always have money for killing brown people, yay murica.
Gotta love how there's always unlimited money for war, but never any money for the people actually living in Yankeestan.
