A cut to pay for vaccinating poor countries

lundi 23 août 2021 à 02:00

A bill proposes to cut US military spending to pay for vaccinating poor countries.

That would be money well spent, not only in terms of the general good of humanity, but also specifically in terms of US security against threats to Americans. It would reduce the chance of the evolution of more deadly variants of Covid-19.

The US could use more deficit spending, so it doesn't actually need to cut some other spending to fund this.
