Now will you admit largess of the Biden Admiinistraion?

Wildflowers sow many seeds into the environment that never gain purchase. However, if some percentage of these do fall onto fertile soil, it propagates the species. Democracy is the species we are trying to propagate.

By the way, you do not have "tax money". What you have is money that you have spent on the government, and it is no longer your money. It belongs to the People, and we will sow it as we see fit, all of your pearl clutching aside.

Fully half of the electorate does not agree with your short-sighted way to spend money. By the way, money that remains in the wallet does not spur on the economy, either. So the choice remains, do we spend it in ways that further our long-term goals of fostering democracy in the world, or do we short-sightedly hoard it, spending it only on people who look like us, as you obviously want?

Let's not even mention that a lot of these items you claim are true are actually false. (Oh, and Rand Paul is a liar.)

We get that you want to keep all the money in the hands of the 1%, but that simply doesn't benefit humanity in the long run.

?????????????? Are we the Fosterers of the World, Suzianne?

And, just how much more money do you want us to send to all these countries, when it would be better spent to PAY OFF LOANS of college graduates in OUR country!!!!????

We already send out $40B, see attached, and oh, $200B to Ukraine, etc etc etc.

So;, you are not an America First kind of person? I am a "Waitress-with-2-children'First"" kind of guy. Give us your take on the waitress....nobody paying her loans, such as that.
Othere countries? They can work it out.

Your obvious love of money should embarrass all Americans.

Why don't you start counting your wealth as the number of friends you have? The number of people you've helped out?

Oh, right.

number 15 is absolutely ridiculous $892 billion in interest payments on our national debt that's just interest payments

I'll tell my grandkids that the majority of this debt was incurred while Republicans were in charge.

Why do you give them a pass?

Just a little grammar help here. When you say “ why don’t you?” to someone, that implies that they were already planning to do something and changed their mind. I’m sure you follow, so when you said that to me, you were implying that I was going to do it and I was not.
We’re good here.

That is a deep subject which you might like a thread on? Do you really want Forum matters to keep going into the past? The presents is more fun! Why are your leaders losing their heads over working for govt efficency?
Trump keeps you all on the edge of your seats, but for diff reasons than did the mysterious Biden.
Can you tell us please how transparent Trump is, how refreshing it is, or do you want to compare budgets of past presidents? I cannot iimagine googling Bush and Obama ,to compare their budgets to whatever you are talking about.
So, I pass.
