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...
 
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.
