RFK Jr. on CNN: Trump and Biden are only different on culture war issues
“They’re both being financed by BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, the military contractors, the pharmaceutical industry.”
“You’ve never heard President Trump talk about chronic disease, you’ve never heard President Biden talk about it.”
“Who ran up the debt? President Trump and President Biden.”
“They’re very different in their temperament, their ideology, and their rhetoric.
But the issues where they actually depart is a very narrow band of issues, and it’s the culture war issues.
They’re important issues, but they’re not existential. Neither of them has the capacity to address those, the biggest one being the debt.
We now have $34 trillion in debt. The service on that debt is more than our military spending.
Within five years, $0.50 of every dollar collected in taxes are going to go to servicing the debt.
Who ran up that debt? President Trump and President Biden, just four years each, ran up more spending than all previous Presidents going back to George Washington combined.
The chronic disease epidemic. When my uncle was President, 6% of Americans had chronic disease. Today, 60% do.
It’s the biggest issue we have, $4.3 trillion [a year] that we’re spending on that.
AI. Neither of them has the capacity to deal with these.
All of those issues are created by a system of corporate capture, this corrupt merger between state and corporate power that has absolutely subverted and undermined our democracy.
Neither President Trump nor President Biden has the capacity to address it, because they’re part of that system.
If you vote for President Trump or President Biden—they both had their chance—you’re gonna get more of the same.
If somebody actually wants change, wants to actually alter those issues, they’re gonna vote for me.”
