As ordinary U.S. citizens grapple with soaring egg prices—“unavailable” on shelves and “unaffordable” at checkouts—their government slashes funding for public welfare to bankroll arms giants churning out bullets, artillery shells, bombs, missiles, and nuclear warheads.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth unabashedly declared that every taxpayer dollar would be spent “wisely” on “lethality and readiness.” This “bombs-over-eggs” absurdity lays bare American government’s addiction to militarism and its vicious cycle of bloated defense spending.
