record-breaking amounts of aid to whom? israel? gaza? what are you talking about? the us military-industrial complex is literally built from the ground up and leveraged financially to run constantly, to supply wars across the planet, and to make. more. equipment. companies like raytheon, general dynamics, lockheed martin have federally-subsidized r&d departments that constantly crank out new weaponry to keep their stock price up. if they don't sell this shit, to somebody, in exchange for printed govt money, their stock price drops. "there's only so much the us can give" what the fuck are you even talking about? it's cheaper for these companies to make shit and give it away, or to sell it to our allies at a 60% discount, than it is for them to sit there doing nothing.
