Hello folks, it's me, diving into episode number 278, where I discuss the financial repercussions of the U.S.'s involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Did you know that in January of 1835, President Andrew Jackson achieved a balanced budget and cleared our national federal debt? Fast forward to today, and we're looking at a staggering 20 trillion in debt. And yet, amidst our domestic challenges, Biden flies to Israel, pledging $14 billion in aid, on top of our annual $4 billion commitment. All this while many Americans struggle with homelessness and economic hardships.
The Bottomless Money PitIsrael, in its current state, is akin to a money pit. No matter the resources poured into it, achieving long-term peace seems elusive. The state's origin in 1948 is marred with disputes, and the surrounding Arab nations have never recognized its legitimacy. So why are we, the American taxpayers, funding this endless cycle?
The Hidden Cost of BorrowingOur government borrows from the Federal Reserve (which, by the way, isn't federal at all). Every borrowed dollar decreases the value of our money, leading to inflation. The rich might not feel the pinch, but for the majority living paycheck to paycheck, it's a different story.
A Potential SolutionCould there be a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? One radical idea: Israel could purchase the land they occupy, granting them legitimacy. In return, Palestinians would recognize Israel as a sovereign state. Trust would be the cornerstone of this arrangement.
In conclusion, before meddling in international affairs, perhaps our leaders should address the issues in our own backyard. Until next time, this is Earnest, signing off.
