@AverageJoe1 saidWhy hire a car mechanic? Why not get a 19 year old kid out of college who's never looked inside a hood to tell you what is wrong with your vehicle?
You err about 'gov operations'.
Your car mechanic would tell you , for instance, that it is wrong to use tax payer money for all of the things AID is spending it on, such as LGBQ and tran stuff. Million here, million there, I think you called it pocket change? (I have never understood the def of Tran, BTW.). Govt Operations??? Give me a break.

@no1marauder saidWell, your analogy is not on the mark, as I am sure you know, mine was. A 19 year old average man, can easily tell you that oour country should not send money to the programs of these various countries. OTHER COUNTRIES!!! What about OUR country. We send billions out already.

Tell us what you thnk we should do after you talk Elon into quitting, and saving AID for you and your friends. we are all ahead of outselves, like sonhouse. Just look at this one point, please. Send money to Peru for tran comic books?
Comon....you can do this Maruader. Back down here to ground level, please.
@AverageJoe1
Can you believe how fast Trump is moving. He aready has invaders being removed, he has done energy, eradicated christian bias this morning, . The border, the trans, you know the list, unvelievable. Ask Sonhouse to show you, The guy has more energy than, let me see 🤔 ....let me look under the beach blanket,,,,aHA, Biden is under there, that tricky guy.
@AverageJoe1 saidThose billions save countless lives, improve the quality of life of millions and build goodwill towards the United States.

All you have is hate; these programs show the basic decency of Americans.
It's a sad day when a President, doing the bidding of his rich benefactor, illegally shuts down programs that have been funded by the People's representatives for more than six decades.

"The stop-work order has upended many of those projects, and has seen nurses laid off and clinics closed in more than 25 countries where two-thirds of all child deaths occur globally, said Janeen Madan Keller, policy fellow and deputy director of global health policy at the Center for Global Development."
"Over in Peru, part of USAID’s $135 million funding in 2024 was dedicated to financing cocaine-production alternatives such as coffee and cacao. The humanitarian agency has been seeking to curb production of the drug since the early 1980s."
" since Trump’s announcement, HIV patients in Africa found locked doors at clinics funded by an acclaimed U.S. program that helped rein in the global AIDS epidemic.
Known as one of the world’s most successful foreign aid program, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, has been credited with saving more than 25 million lives, largely in Africa."

Maybe your dickhead spoiled rich guys and their barely out of high school aides think this is "waste" but these programs alleviate human misery and suffering.

@no1marauder saidWhy don't you see how far that our being ministers to the world will get us. So we are not sending enough money around the world, did I get that right? You are playing bleeding heart while you have the govt paying off the student loans of your son and his friends while leaving our other citizens out in the cold....literally?

You have no argument, give it up. Your arguments never close. Before you go off in a huff, tell us what you think about the places that we are sending supprt to. Peru for trans comic books....does that improve their quality of life??
I dont have the list of recipients in front of me, but it will (well, it won't) make you sick,.. So,forget that largess and tell us that we do not send enough support all over the world. Not eough for you, though, you llibs want it all, and I heard you a few days ago, you want it NOW. I canr believe you still rail on about rich people. You act like they directly stick their finger in your eye, when in fact they create wealth. You will have to google 'create wealth, i have done it enough but you never get it. So just who are we starving?

I will leave it to Trump agencies, working with the levelheaded people on he ground who are trying to help the desperate situations. Not people like that horrible Elizabeh Warren and all the loser senators lining up with Shcumer bleating on the loudspeakers. Fight Fight Fight!! That aint working. Kamala said Fight Fight Fight too. Yawn. Tell them to do some good, jessus
You see, all due respects, I do not doubt what you are saying, but clearly are saying we have that pesky 'duty of care' to the world, and we simply do not. If Biden has not broken us, we might have a few dollars lying around. What a horribve baserd he was. Absolute slime. You need not worry about that with Trump. AvJoe's word.

You've been lying about that for years here; forgiving a debt isn't "paying" anything you moron. It works just like a tax cut except instead of 90% of the benefits being pocketed by the top 10% of income earners, it benefits the sons and daughters of the working and middle classes who, despite not having all the advantages of wealth, bettered themselves by completing a higher education. You hate them for this while worshipping the sons of CEOs and other spoiled rich POS'.

You could resolve this, and maybe even convince me, if you would simply tell us what all of the articles were about, about how much it would cost our country.
Did my link to you a few days ago not do it? How about this one. I mean, why is there an article if it is a non-starter.?
See this. Don’t change subjects?

You are so hypocritical, losing it….the wringing hands about the needy in Botswana, and at the same time paying our treasury money to college losers.
Don’t leave!!! We can discuss Woke Gender Policies girls in danger, which you libs knew had to happen. The Danger of Gender Ideology! We can discuss the statement by your nemesis Trump…we have 2 genders!!

Of Note. Kamala said “ America has a long history of systemic race system”. In other words, the worst of America. Negative leadership. Trump said yesterday,,” Since the birth of our nation,we have been guided by faith and prayer, and we live under those 4 words, in god we trust.” Amen, Donald, Bring America back.
@no1marauder saidWhich is pathetic…. Dependent people, or self reliant people. Dependent, or independent? Capitalists or Socialists, who by their very definition, means they involve themselves in the business of others. In the lives of others. People who mind their own business, or people trying to affect or control lives of others.

This has been explained to you numerous times.
@AverageJoe1 saidThose "losers" are the sons and daughters of working and middle class people who accomplished something you and most of the MAGA idiots couldn't do i.e. get an education. Your hatred of them is based on nothing more than pathetic jealousy.

It's unfortunate that it is virtually impossible for kids from non-rich and non-poor families to complete college without going heavily in debt. The economic benefits of some forgiveness of such debt has already been shown to you but your petty hatred and gullible acceptance of anything right wing media tells you makes you blind to them.
And anyway, why are you still harping about something that isn't going to happen anyway? Can't you think of anything else but a totally irrelevant "whataboutism"? Why do you bring it up in almost every single thread?
@no1marauder saidYou are wrong. I myself am limited in no way to natural resources. Any comment you might say that one cannot ‘afford” such access is quite irrelevant, given that wealth is available to everyone, where it would thus make resources available.
Capitalism is based 100% on controlling others by limiting access to natural resources to a relative few.
