$100,000,000,000 and I don’t get healthcare because it’s too expensive for the country.
This place fucking sucks.
We’re already paying more for healthcare (that we don’t get) than people in any other country in the world.
Mexico spends $8 billion a year on defense. Canada spends $26 billion a year on defense.
We’ve spent well over $100 billion on Ukraine already, and Israel gets $5 billion a year from the US in charity annually.
When do the American people get an emergency spending package, you know, considering it’s our money in the first place?
Best I can offer is a, “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”
After I have pulled myself up, do I at least get a firm handshake?
no. you are also not supposed to shake your own hand.
Unless you want to barter with your medical provider using cold war era weaponry, it’s not a direct comparison. Most of the “dollars” in aid Ukraine receives is equipment. There have been cash payments mostly for (allegedly) humanitarian purposes, and I won’t begrudge them that.
Also the Israel aid is vouchers for them to buy US military equipment. Now whether we should support a genocidal nation at all is a question worth considering, but it’s never stopped us before.
At this point it stopped being your money a long time ago and became your debt and your children’s debt and your children’s children’s debt. Got to love unhinged unbalanced generational national debt.
Man, I sure wish Americans could benefit a little from our taxes.
Rich Americans very much benefit from the military. Global US power projection ensures its billionaires have an advantage
I’m happy to have Ukraine benefit against an unambiguously unjust invasion, especially while also benefit from Russia being weakened.
I agree with you, but my statement stands.
Maybe you should start a war first and then ask them for money?
But but isn’t Israel a stronk nation, heads and shoulders better at everything compared to their Arab cousins? Why would they need 100 billion more?
