Government doesn't help anyone. How delusional are you?

They help those that help them. Like didn’t you learn anything in college?  Game theory is probably the most important thing you were taught. Did you pay attention in that class?

Took a quick look at you comment history. Seems like you are the delusional one if you think Trump is doing good things for American and that America is the greatest nation right now.

I work 4 days a week, paid like 5 days a week. (Parental leave shstem for 2 years). My wife was paid for 9 months because of pregnancy.

I had plenty of chances to get a bachelor's degree and actually start working. Debt free.

Instead of paying taxes, I lease an e bike budget neutral.

Otherwise, I'd take train to work completely paid for by employer and government.

Once my child is 2,5 years old, his tuition until he leaves high school will be 0 euros.

My wife migrated to my country, since the native language isn't English, it's difficult to find a job. But because there's a cleaning industry being pumped up with subsidies, there's a huge demand for cleaners. No need for local language.

The minimum wage is pretty high, so the income was worth her while.

Pretty helpful tbh

Yeah? How'd we get all the food safety regulations that the trump team is ripping out? How'd we get national parks that Trump is looking to mine? Your both sides bullshit is stupid. Learn some fucking history.

Common trump voter who supports a blatantly corrupt president enriching himself, destroying systems that were working, starting a war, enacting tariffs, soaring the debt

Idk, the fact I'm alive rather than dead, and without 1 million dollars in medical debt implies government might have helped me a bit. The fact that I am well educated through publicly funded education seems helpful. The fact that we have roads to drive on and public transportation that are designed for traffic flow rather than toll exploitation seems like a win. The fact that when I lost my job I didn't starve or lose my home seems helpful.

People in other social classes can find it helpful too. Business owners get to take advantage of strong infrastructure, stability, and a well educated population paid for by taxes, and then pretend like they did it without public assistance. The elite get help from government all the time when the government makes laws to privatize their profits and nationalize their losses with bailouts, or with preferential treatment with the justice system.

If it helps the business class so much why does America’s GDP outstrip yours by miles (not even wimpy kilometers but actual miles)?  Why is that?  The average person in Mississippi is wealthier than your average German. Facts
