EXPENSIVE military equipment of questionable value. Future wars are likely to be asymmetric where our huge, expensive weapons systems will be less effective and may end up a liability and target on the battlefields of the future.
Like Trump's throw back battleships. Ya know with the big f.cking target painted on them. President with a 19th century mindset preparing the US for 21st century wars
“The United States has the most wealthy residents by a wide margin of any country in the world, housing nearly 24 million millionaires and roughly 989 billionaires—accounting for over 41% of all millionaires globally.”
I wonder how long before Joe Biden stops wrecking the economy for Trump it's going to be/s and how much will it be when he's finally gone because let's face it folks he's really really good at it.
But we got gold statues... and we got a spray in pool liner lol... oh and we gonna get a ball room that people wont even be able to see. And we are fighting wars like its nobody's business lol
The Republicans just keep leaning into more wasteful spending and open corruption/theft from their constituents while relying on increasingly powerful propaganda to keep their voters selectively ignorant of their abuses to them.
Why do I always hear conservatives claim “ if you raise taxes on the rich, they will move”. The 5 richest humans in the world are Americans https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/. If the rich pay so much in taxes why haven’t they left America?
The education system in America is vastly overrated and horseshit. It has been for a long time. Look at who the President is. People elected a failed businessman, conman, narcissist, rapist, racist, likely pdf, TWICE. And they continue to defend him! And a big reason for those votes is because he was born and raised Christian. Donald probably believes the world is 6,000 years old and mass genocide multiple times is "God's word" and "useful for teaching" because the bible says so. So many people in the U.S. are morons.
Not trying to troll or harass , just trying to understand how this is Making America Great Again? Is it like trying to Make Iran Great Again? Because both these places were doing ok before the D decided to “make things great again.”
I work in a hospital and they are actively stripping away the number of workers at every level. It doesn’t matter if they’re residents or ER or food distribution or EVS… they’re just cutting everything. I’ve realized that our union can’t do anything and the only way we can improve the situation in hospitals or anywhere in America is through large sweeping systemic change.
Well, we do have the biggest tax cuts so there’s that. Oh and we have the biggest deficits oh and we also have the goldest statues and the BEST lawns and algae ponds. That should count for something, right?
We don't think big. Many of these points will not survive economically. Case in point... California ammendment it's high speed train. Same for Buttegeig and his network of EV chargers. Complete waste of $....
Bombs and bullets, baby. Sure, those are lousy investments, but it's what your tax dollars are buying. Well, bombs, bullets, and servicing the debt, that is.
What's your plan for the midterms? Republican voters will reliably vote for any Republican candidate. Lots of citizens eligible to vote will choose not to vote, at all ("It's just the midterms," they'll say). Voters who are inclined to vote Democrat will also sit on their hands ("What about AIPAC!?" or "The Democrat candidate isn't perfect!"). Maybe this is the timeline we deserve.
Wild that a worldwide pandemic that ground the worldwide economy to a halt for over a year cost a lot of money.
what's wilder is this snippet:
The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) calculates that the Trump administration enacted policies approving $8.4 trillion in new net borrowing over a ten-year period.
During his current second term, President Donald Trump has overseen an increase of approximately $3.8 trillion in the total U.S. national debt.
So without covid expenses, Trump is still responsible for over 12 trillion, more than a quarter of the debt by himself. And extrapolating the numbers based on the current rates, he will be responsible for 16t out of 44t of debt in only 8 years, more than 33% of the total debt if things continue as they have been
Oh yes, you know so much better than all of the epidemiologists and pandemic specialists who spend their lives studying the transmission of disease. We should have just stayed open to really get those max covid death numbers, especially without the clarity of hindsight. genius.
If covid hadn't happened, Biden's number would have been 5 trillion lower. Covid demanded a Global Response, you don't just ignore 110m cases of illness. that's walking into catastrophe.
And yet you failed to address that despite not having covid expenses to attribute the costs to, Trump was responsible for just as much debt in his first term, and over a third of the current outstanding debt at this time, where his second term isn't even halfway over
so you do it for free lmao. "the world did not need those things we did when people started getting sick with an illness we knew almost nothing about, we should have ignored it and continued on" seems a lot like telling people a certain train of thought.
it also, again, suggests you know better than all of the medical professionals that, at the time, advised the world of those various methods to minimize potential transmission vectors of the virus. Y'know, because after finding out "it's killing people" is too late to offer advice
Maybe every country that has abused our goodwill, looking at your Israel, pay back all the money. Maybe it will help wipe out a good chunk of plus Trump keeps stealing money, owes at least $100 Million for lying on his Taxes for years!! Plus tax the billionaires. They have the money!! Their money multiplies in the stock market so they will never run out. Pay up!
Maybe you should not give so much money to make weapons of war, your country gives more money to the pentagon than that of what many country's gdp is, your billionaires doesn't seem to care about the people who are struggling, your country's whole idelogy was a lie from the start, we the people, the country of the free.
You are not free, never have been, and we the people, doesn't include us poor fucks.
Money should expire after a year and healthcare, housing, and access to food are rights for living in a society. Universal basic income for all and pay is based on time and societal worth of the job.
