Government shouldn’t give to the top two and shouldn’t really be giving too much to the last one either. Private businesses, charities, and individuals with their own incentives should donate their money the way they seem fit.

Lol lmao. I remember them talking on the news how in the world would we pay off the 9 trillion in debt years ago. Nothings changed. I guess run it up til bankruptcy is the plan? What happens if the national bank goes bankrupt? Do we just change currencies and start the same thing again? Or are we just gonna run it up for all eternity?

Best part is I just read an article today that says the US Navy would be out of munitions in 3 weeks if a conflict with China broke out over Taiwan.

Military aid isn’t the same as sending cash. It’s a really interesting system and basically the real problem is that we are spending too much on military, once we’ve bought the stock for billions of dollars and it is sitting around, us giving military aid in the form of loans to buy our old stock is actually a way to get back military spending.
So the idea that we’re literally handing cash in billions to other countries is misguided.

So we’re promising to support safety net programs once we cut all foreign aid?

This cartoon is incorrect.
The first panel should be the American with a gun to his head as the Democrats and Republicans rob him to pay Ukraine and Isreal.
The reason for this is that the government is not he source of wealth. It is where wealth goes to die.

Also, that money doesn’t actually go to those countries. It goes to American weapon and defense contractors who is in front of the money back to politicians. They are voting to give them selves millions of our dollars.

Every dollar printed has a debt attached. So there is technically not enough money that exists at the moment to pay off the debt. We need to go back to the gold standard.

It’s funny — the vast majority of spending is for Social Security and Medicare, but everyone focuses on the <1% (look it up) for ALL foreign aid — which is mostly paid to U.S. military contractors.
The same reason we can’t discuss the real causes of the debt is why we can’t dig ourselves out of the hole.
