BREAKING: Congress Moves to Commit Treason and Allow Israel to Forever Enslave America’s Military

What was said

"The National Defense Authorization Act authorizes $1.5 trillion annually. 80% of the discretionary budget of the United States of America is now going for military. The budget was $900 billion. Now it's 1.5 trillion. Think of that increase of 600 billion in one year."

Kucinich reveals the 2027 defense budget represents a $600 billion single-year increase from $900 billion to $1.5 trillion, now consuming 80% of all discretionary federal spending. This massive increase comes as programs for education, healthcare, nutrition, and infrastructure face significant cuts. The former congressman argues this reallocation undermines America's constitutional purpose of promoting general welfare.
