Jobless claims suddenly jumped to a two-year high…
Maybe this will help the growing ranks of the unemployed.
Yesterday the House passed a $738 billion dollar military budget bill for 2020—$100 billion more then Obama’s final military budget 3 years ago—and sent the bill to the Senate for passage.
The House also authorized spending another $80 billion in 2020, to fight America’s longest war in Afghanistan.
That’s great news for Trump, the Republicans, and the warmongers.
It’s bad news for the people because most of that spending will be added to our deficit and the national debt.
This massive spending bill may help employ a few of the unemployed though.
But we still can’t afford Medicare For All??
