Biden rushes aid to Ukraine as US cost of living skyrockets

American households in 2024 are spending an extra $11,434 annually to maintain a similar standard of living to the one they enjoyed just three years ago, according to a new study by Republican members of the US Senate Joint Economic Committee. Geopolitical consultant David Oualaalou pointed to the troubling data during an appearance on Sputnik's The Critical Hour program, questioning the US president's focus on foreign policy amidst a grim economic outlook for millions of Americans.

"The fact that [the US] keeps sending more money to Ukraine [and]

it's already a failed state, what is it for

?" asked the former US security analyst. "We have been taking money out of average Americans that are paying taxes... and giving it to the corrupted government in Ukraine."

"I saw those images of the incompetent members of Congress waving the Ukrainian flag inside Congress. Well to me it became like, why don't you go and represent Ukraine? Shame on our politicians. But, again, until the structure of our system has changed, nothing is going to change fundamentally."

Former US President Dwight D. Eisenhower famously warned Americans about the emergent US military-industrial complex in 1961. What's less well known is that an earlier draft of his speech referred to a "military-industrial-congressional complex." Eisenhower reconsidered the term out of fear of offending Washington lawmakers, but the designation makes clear legislators' key role in what the decorated military general considered a corrupt and dangerous phenomenon.

Military contractors make up one of the largest political lobbies in Washington; recently, a study found lawmakers who voted to pass the National Defense Authorization Act received four to five times more in donations from the defense industry than those who did not.
