You might have missed that the same party blocking any new debts while amassing a massive investement backlog and letting the military rot for decades campaigned on “no new debts!”, instantly took on literally a trillion of new debt for military, economy and infrastructure investments the moment they won… and then managed to actually even reduce the investements into infrastructure compared to their (because of them) cash-strapped predecessors while all spending on “the economy” was gifts and tax breaks for their rich buddies that do exactly nothing for the economy. Oh, and of course they started demolitioning social systems because somehow, magically they have no money…
So just fuck off with that “but there is a war!” screaming they constantly use to divert from their obvious corruption. That we can only spend money on the military when we fuck the people is already a fairy tale in the first place. There is enough money if we finally starting taxing people properly. Instead they just funnel off hundreds of billions in debt to their mostly untaxed donors, then start raising taxes on workers and reducing social spending because they need money for the military and the money dedicated exactly for this magically vanished (and we all know where it ended up).
Why do idiots always need to copy any insanity from the US where they are also brain-washing people into thinking that military spending is the reason they can’t afford health care or stuff, while much of that “military spending” is just hidden industry subsidies and corrupt waste and they also actually spend massive amounts in healthcare… it’s just bad by design to make the rich even richer.
The problem ist, that especially with the background of this already ongoing war, deindustrialisation is the worst one could do. Because this deindustrialisation creates a dependence on powers that cannot be trusted.
You may have missed that there is a war ongoing in Europe, and the threat goes far beyond its current state.

Thank you for your polite comment.
Thank you for –just accidently of course– getting rid of all the “…with the screaming they constantly use to divert from their corruption”-context.
What an interesting coincidence that people parroting populist talking points always use the exact same populist tactics.
Yeah, tankies are just parroting the same propaganda, and they are indeed using the same phrases.
How exactly do you think these two statements are connected?
You may have misses the various studies conducted on the inefficient spending of said budgets.
