Day After Voting Down 10% Pentagon Cut, 37 Senate Dems Join GOP to Approve $740 Billion War Budget — Julia Conley
Funding the US military-idustrial complex and endless war is bipartisan.
Notice no worries about how to pay for it. Simulatneously, the GOP is saying that the US cannot afford to fund disaster relieve when the pandemic threatens to bankrupt states, cities, firms and households. Oh, and the US also needs to cut back Social Security, Medicare, Medicare and other forms of welfare transfers in order to "save taxpayer's money."
How to get the voters to go along with this obscene transfer of wealth upward? Create distraction and division, while stoking fear of bogeymen.

Did they all go down on one knee while voting?
A great thing about a Citizen's Dividend is that, for a given amount of demand creation, the less fiscal spending that is wasted on military and other pork (including a Job Guarantee), the larger the Citizen's Dividend can be.
