Why do people keep ignoring/forgetting foreign aid, biggest fraud going....

That's supposedly less than $100B/year. If Minnesota alone can be shown to have $18B in fraud just for daycares and home health care schemes, the total amount nation wide would dwarf anything we give to Israel. So worry not!

Foreign aid is a gift, and gifts aren't theft.

We can discuss whether or not it's correct to give it, but theft it's not.


What is theft is what the Somalians did/are doing. As well as anyone else doing the same thing in other States.

Ok, but the point I was making is that the foreign aid itself isn't theft by the nations receiving it.

What certainly IS theft though, is what's been uncovered in Minnesota, and likely is in every other State too. That shit dwarfs any amount given in foreign aid.
I'm for reigning that in too, but you shouldn't let yourself be blinded by that one problem area.
 
And Trump just steady running up that bill for the banker crowd...
 
This goy war can't be good for the debt...
 
They keep saying Social Security will face cuts or elimination in our lifetime...

The bill has always coming due.

Whoever is not in power at the time has been screaming bloody murder about the debt as long as we've had debt

Under the current fiat system, every generation gets to pay for past generations excesses as they simultaneously pass off their own debt to the next generation.

At some point we'll need one of 'em to take it squarely in the keister.
.....but until then, as long we still got some road left the can WILL get kicked.

It's kinda like a game of "hot potato", in a way.

As for those in power, no one really wants to become the one who could have kicked the can further down the road, but chose not to and instead let the whole thing implode.
 
I remember back in the early 90's when that guy from Texas was running. Bought a ton of commercials with his own money. Debt has been unsustainable at least since then. Back then it was about 1 trillion. And now, here we are at almost 40 trillion. No big deal, we can just print more money to pay the interest the debt.
 

The U.S. Government Is Insolvent; Yes, That Matters

Interest on the national debt cost $1.2 trillion in fiscal 2025. That was up 7.3 percent over 2024. Interest is the second-highest spending category after Social Security. The federal government is already spending more on interest payments than it is on national defense or Medicare.

Well, there were a few things out of his control. Like, the Gates-CCP Depopulation virus and fake-vaccine. Like four years of Brandon printing money to fly in half of Somalia and three-quarters of Haiti.

You'll say he isn't helping things now, and that's correct; but be serious. COULD he have NOT spent all that money on the Plandemic? He tried, the first month. Who was it, someone inside, who said he took steps to make ivermectin available for free, enough for every person inside the US? He was stopped within a couple of weeks by Big Pharma lobbyists and their tools in CONgress.

Is it true? I don't know; but it would have been a rational response. Off-patent drug shows immediate benefit; can be made quickly and cheaply...problem solved. Except the lobbyists and lifers didn't WANT it solved.

We can't solve this problem if we start with untrue facts and unsupported conclusions. This isn't Trump's fault and putting another Jackass-Party lifer in as replacement, won't solve it this time, either.

The problem is the same problem that has led us to a pointless, senseless, unwinnable war at a chokepoint for energy and agricultural supplies. The problem is, WHO is running things, and HOW did these faceless lizard-men GET that power?
 

GOP ballroom and ICE bill would add $72 billion to deficit​

WASHINGTON — The budget package Senate Republicans unveiled late Monday to fund federal immigration enforcement and President Donald Trump’s proposed White House ballroom will increase deficits by nearly $72 billion over the next 10 years, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

The CBO issued its estimate a day after the GOP released a spending package stuffed with tens of billions of dollars for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, billions more for Department of Homeland Security immigration enforcement and an astounding $1 billion for Trump’s ballroom plan, a vanity project he wants to build in place of the former East Wing, which he demolished last year.

Cheaper than 40 million invaders flying in first class, paid for through NGOs through USAID.

Might even be cheaper than the pallets of money-bales we "forgot" in Iraq.

The demented Left thinks we have no memory and no perspective.

Probably cheaper than providing free healthcare for the 40 million invaders and their spawn.


If we were to tackle all the waste, fraud, and abuse caused by the democrats, we would be able to pave our streets with gold and not have to cry about some piddly memorial.
 
Certainly cheaper than Israel....and no, I still won't let the Republicans rob me either.
 
The US should sell naming rights to the Grand Canyon and Washington DC. I was thinking of Starbuck's GC and Pfizer DC?
