At least 113B has been allocated
Absolutely should have spent the 25B...it wouldhave saved over 100B in welfare to illegals.
Oh Europe should absolutely pony up more to help pay the bill...especially "rich" countries like France and Germany. Trump was demanding it for NATO and getting it.
Seriously? How many countries has Ukraine invaded?
So they can defend themselves from Russia with sticks, stones and dirt clods? Weapons cost money.
What? Yea the quickest way for the woman to stop the beating is to give in to the rape. But, but she a prostitute so who cares right?
Ah so president Reagan was full of hogwash for building up the military and taking on Russia. I think TDS goes two ways. The deranged haters are obvious. But the deranged followers are deluded as well. I would take Reagan 10 out of 10 times over anyone that came after him and most before.
Oh we have many enemies. Hamas, Biden, Putin, Xi, lil Kim, Maduro, Kahmenini, Assad, Erdogan...
Trump is a turd and always will be one. But he's our turd. And he really doesn't need this hassle, he rich beyond our comprehension. I really believe he's trying to do the right thing for the country.
Its called perspective. I dont like the laundering but I am open to figuring out how we arm Ukraine minus the laundering.
Its math. Its pennies on the dollar in GDP or revenue. When you shop I hope you look at the cost per oz, lbs etc.
Nah, I will know you are serious about debt and deficits when you, like I have, call for the abolition of the welfare state, phasing out of SS, Medicare and medicaid. Until then its crocodile tears used to undermine the war effort because Zelenski has been giving Don Biden protection money. And thats icing on the whiners cake as if there wa no laundering the argument would still be the debt but only because Biden the Hapless is the CiC.
Yes I agree. I love that line. I am greatly angered at the political prosecutions. He is gold when compared to any democrat and the RINOs
They are helping fund an invasion against the United States as we speak. Do you really not see the consequences of putting $150 B to $175 B into the pockets of some of the most evil people in the world?
How do they defend themselves from their own leaders? The ones that will happily put them in a position to be killed by Russia....for the right price from our dems.
Not what I said. At. All. I am saying the fight we had with Russia in the 50s-80s is completely different than the fight we have with them now.
Nail, I was telling my wife on our walk tonight that I am not depressed but do have a sense of doom. Every single time in my adult life when I start making headway some sh*t happens. I think this country may have peeked in 1999.
You may be right and I do not claim to be an expert but I have loosely followed Ukrainian politics since this woman ascended to power and was later railroaded by traitorous Ukrainian minions of Russia.
Are you familiar with Zelensky's prior occupation? The timeline for his ascension to power? How he's said no more elections, he's basically dictator for life now?You may be right and I do not claim to be an expert but I have loosely followed Ukrainian politics since this woman ascended to power and was later railroaded by traitorous Ukrainian minions of Russia.
NO IT DID NOT!
YES IT DID!!! See, my capitalization button works also. Why are you yelling?NO IT DID NOT!
Woodrow Wilson and 1913 was step 1 ( Fed Reserve, Income tax and decoupling the Senate from state legislatures)
1 prints fiat money
2 allowed the masking of the problems, blames debt on revenue when it is spending, It is the blame game that exacerbates class warfare and divides and conquers the masses.
3 allowed for unfunded mandates and other spending that the states would have absolutely rejected.
FDR, the New Deal, his breaking of SCOTUS was step 2
Unconstitutional programs were created and finally allowed after FDR threatened to pack the court. He was 0-fer at SCOTUS in his new deal programs before that threat. After that they all mysteriously became constitutional.
LBJs worst society coupled with Nixons gold/fiat actions were the final step (or maybe zer0care.)
FDR paved the way for Johnson's programs. They too are unconstitutional. The final straw was going full fiat ( Nixon) as there was now no barriers on spending and the fed became a printing press used to fund irresponsible and unconstitutional government.
" The Heritage Foundation published a report on the 50th anniversary (2014) of Johnson's "Great Society" speech. Data shows that poverty rates dropped dramatically between the end of World War II and 1964. And yet, despite expenditures of more than $22 trillion since 1964 ( to 2014) , the poverty rate has consistently remained between 12% and 15%."-
Since 2014 we have spent at least 10T on the worst society. It is NO coincidence that the debt almost matches the social spending. IT, the worst soceity, IS the debt and deficit and it is on autopilot.

YOU/WE/America WILL not solve this problem UNTIL social spending is eradicated. IT is a CANCER. B*itching about foreign aid which is INSIGNIFICANT and did NOT get us here solves nothing.
Now not to leave you hanging HERE is the solution and it has to be done in order.
1 Constitutional amendment for term limits. Current swamp creatures must be grandfathered or it will not pass.
2 Balanced budget amendment with cap on GDP of 18%. (4.5T budget) #1 is a prerequisite for even beginning to talk about #2 because the swamp creatures fear cutting off the "drug" to the masses.
3 repeal the 17th amendment. State legislature will put the kabosh on the Senate if the Senators are once again beholding to them instead of the masses.
4 Repeal the 16th amendment and replace with the Fair Tax. No more goosing gubment while we struggle to make ends meet. Want a tax cut when inflation is kicking your personal finances @ss then cut your personal spending, buy used and watch the swamp creatures run around on fire.
5 watch people go to work because they have to in order to eat. More workers = more GDP= more revenue
If you are on the verge of bankruptcy and you think cutting out that cup of coffee is going to help, well the judge is going to laugh at you because he is going to look at your house, car, credit cards, medical debt etc and not that 3 cent cup of home brewed Joe. 70 years of drinking home brew will not be factor in you being a million dollars in debt. That's common sense and perspective.
Much more than a cup of coffee is spent globally sir.
Want to help vets...help them buy insurance and cut out the welfare state...Why do we have a VA when it is substandard? Shouldn't a Vet be going to Vanderbilt,Emory, Mayo or Johns Hopkins?
Why don't we just give them the $200B that we paid to Ukraine?
I go back to Moneyball:
What is your definition of passing the "fair tax"? Consumption...or where everyone pays the same %? Because I am 100% AGAINST a consumption tax..and 100% FOR a FAIR tax rate that EVERYONE pays...no deductionsNO IT DID NOT!

As a VET myself. That’s not the way. Sorry.
Meanwhile. Year 2 here trying to get a medical appointment for a military service related condition. Don’t mind me, I am just walking and chewing gum while counting my pennies on the dollar.
I dont give 2 sh)ts about Zelenski.
We support AMERICA FIRST. This is not really that hard to understand. NATO is the one that needs to step up...not the USA. THEY are the ones that need US...not the other way around.
VA: It could be vastly improved, but changes have to be made. Unfortunately, they probably won’t be. We incentivize and prioritize the wrong things. Spending and Nation building….errrr…money laundering.
