@Suzianne saidGet one of your co-workers to read what he wrote, ....then, ask him what that paragraph means. When they cannot explain it to you,,,,,then you will tell them what it means, and they will say , oh yeah, I get it.
Pinhead.
He was repeating what you had basically said and then responded to that.
Are you mental?
What one-room school house did you get your degree from?
@kmax87 saidRegarding your bottom rung of society...a real puzzler to me.
Reducing military spending by a half a percent is not cutting it in half.
Your culture has always had a problem with those on the bottom rung of society. Why I dont know. Maybe you can explain that.
If you and I are chefs, and move to Nashville, each working for different restaurants, I might earn $60k after a year. You will earn $120,000.
Definitely, I will be on a lower 'rung' than you will be.
Please apply what you said about rungs in the USA to this scenario. Or at least, tell us why you think that this is unacceptable.
Please.

@kmax87 saidThe world's police force? Who would you rather? Maybe none at all???? And your comments about the 'dollar' are behind the times , you are sounding like a cross between ole Natural Law Marauder and Sonhouse. Are you not aware of yesterday's signing of the Crypto Act. The world of stablecoins, backed by he US Dollar? You keep mentioning other nations here.....Other nations welcome this.
Its quid pro quo.
A service for a service.
The USA has the dollar which is the world's reserve currency. People hear that so often that it has lost its meaning. Did America build up the greatest most powerful military machine to become the world's only remaining Superpower? No. People get it twisted. Its the other way round. Because the dollar is the exchange mechanism by ...[text shortened]... g do you think the rest of the world will be enamored to let the US simply take without giving back?
You should study up. Everyone is happy but you. A marketplace is being built by Trump
""""All this to say for what? The US dollar as world reserve currency has advantaged the US by being able to pass on its money printing devaluation activities as a subtle taxation onto the rest of the world. And most nations gladly accept that because America's military keeps the lanes of world trade open and free. America is the world's police force.""""
@AverageJoe1 saidQuoting my argument as proof there is nothing to see misses the point. The world at Bretton Woods gave America the go ahead to run the world. When it dropped the gold standard in 71, part of them staying at the top was an understanding that America's burden if you like was to ensure the trade routes of the world were free. Also there was an obligation to provide AID.

It's the old, to whom much is given, much is expected. But Trump is the first President to say, F the world. What have they done for us lately. And if you feel that is true, then you are only pissing in your own tent.
@kmax87 saidIt's like I want to say..." what else do you want the USA to do anymore?" The only thing i am picking up on is that you want us to stop being successful unto ourselves? You want your neighbor next door to slow down his success as he leaves for his office, where he employs people (so THEY can be successful) and where he provides goods and services for your town.

@AverageJoe1 saidWouldn't it mean more to spend our time and efforts to return education to the States?
Wouldn't it mean more to spend our time and efforts to return education to the States? The obvious intent of the constitution was to give states such powers, not the federal government.
You've got a point, Joe!
So, YOU would rather us be more concerned about returning the responsibility of education to the states, than spending the time executing justice against all our child molester pedophiles hiding in our three branches of government, including our current president who is destroying our country, and former past Presidents?
Gee, I don't know smaller than average joe boy, please help us all out.
Let's see, Child victims of rape? or making sure states have the responsibility of education and not our federal government?
What's more important to YOU smaller than average joe boy?
Ask your own children what they think little joe boy;
Aske them if they would rather be raped by your false god humpty trumpty?
or, would they rather make sure that their state pays for their education and not the federal government while their taking it up the butt?
Get back to me once YOU've asked YOUr kids or wife little joe boy.
@KingDavid403 said? Anyway, each state has a dept of education. MS teaches how to avoid pregnancy, Utah teaches economics and the complicated landscape of mining, oil production, ranching. Iowa, teaches maybe the world of agriculture. We got it all covered, little feller, each state putting money and efforts to make their states grow and successful (Libs hate that word).

@AverageJoe1 saidThere's a difference between responsibility and obligation. Its not a great difference but it is different.
Get one of your co-workers to read what he wrote, ....then, ask him what that paragraph means. When they cannot explain it to you,,,,,then you will tell them what it means, and they will say , oh yeah, I get it.
If its your obligation to pay the household bills, then its a legal requirement, possibly backed up by a court order. If its your responsibility to pay the household bills there is more flexibility in the arrangement. You are not compelled to pay, but your responsibility as an adult/parent means you do the right thing and pay.
Now America's obligation, while not legally enforced, nevertheless was a tacit understanding of its responsibilities for being the host of the world's reserve currency. (see how I managed to put both words in the same sentence)
@kmax87 saidI guess you and I do not agree on the def of 'the right thing'. You leave a lot of room for discussion on that one. Be careful, Marauder may jump in, applying Natural Law to the right thing, as we have world 'negotiations, responsibilities and obligations' all bouncing around to be defined.

Chalk me up for another post.

Senator Jeff Murphy says that Trump will cause the death of millions if he does not fund USAID, etc.
They are not the responsibility of the govt of THEIR country......they are the responsibility of our country. It is the job of the American Taxpayers. The world's burden.
