#SocialSpending
When Italy and the EU will understand that #Trump has an enemy besides China,and that enemy is the #EUWelfareState,which he wants to destroy in order to divert #socialSpending into #militarySpending( with a #BuyAmerican extortion op), it will be too late.

A new survey shows broad support in #Germany for strengthening #SecurityPolicy and closer #EuropeanCooperation. Many respondents favor higher defense spending rather than #socialspending: go.tum.de/429682

Majority in favor of cutting social spending in favor of defense
Most Germans want to increase defense spending and reduce social spending. This is shown by a survey conducted by TUM and the Leipzig University.

Going to 2000 taxes (income, cap gns, estate & corp) would increase revenue by hundreds $billions/yr & over $4 trillion over a decade.

Look at US revenue/budget after GOP-led tax cuts in 2001, 03, 11 (estate) & '17 & deficit reductions in Dem administrations.

GOP ALWAYS blames socialspending.

#AndrewMurray for @mstaronline.bsky.social

Socialists can't back warfare over welfare, MPs/campaigners warn after former #NATO boss #GeorgeRobertson demanded UK Government axe #SocialSpending to finance their arms drive.

2 #IMF: “This is crucial, as more investment in #education and #socialspending to broaden the gains from #AI will require more public revenue.
Since the 1980s, the tax burden on #capital #income has steadily declined in advanced economies while the burden on labor income has climbed”
