Bush said if the US can fund trillion-dollar wars, it can put money towards reparations
Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., said that if the U.S. can finance trillion-dollar wars, it can fund reparations. But Bush's astronomical $14 trillion reparations proposal would cost nearly seven times that of the Afghanistan war.
The Missouri Democrat introduced her reparations proposal this week to compensate for what she believes are racist government policies that created a wealth gap between White and Black people.
During a press conference on Wednesday, the "Squad" member said the U.S. has "a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans" to atone for the harm it caused.
"Black people in our country cannot wait any longer for our government to begin addressing… all of the harm it has caused since the founding, that it continues to perpetuate each and every day all across our communities, all across this country," Bush said during the press conference.
