Golden Dome or Gilded Trap
Space Defense Plan Sparks Debate Over Priorities on Earth
President Donald Trump’s unveiling of the Golden Dome, a massive $175 billion space-based missile defense initiative, has ignited fierce debate over national priorities. Marketed as a high-tech shield against enemy threats, the plan would launch a network of satellites armed with interceptors and directed-energy weapons into orbit.
But while some hail it as a visionary step toward 21st-century security, critics see something far more troubling: a golden illusion floating above a struggling nation. At home, Americans face rising food insecurity, underfunded schools, and record homelessness. Can a laser in the sky protect us from the rot beneath our feet?
The poster we’ve created pulls no punches. Under a glowing dome labeled “Golden,” civilians stare upward; curious, cautious, even frightened. A peace balloon hovers in the crosshairs. Below them, the warning is clear:
“Billions for the sky, while hunger grows below. Security without justice is no peace at all.”
This isn’t just about space weapons. It’s about choices. And who gets left behind when fear drives policy.
What do you think?
Should national security extend to orbit, even if millions are struggling on the ground? Let us know in the comments.
