Imagine as a species what we could have built if we didn't have all these religious conservative fundamentalist nut jobs attaining power and holding us all back by decades all because they are cowards who are fucking terrified of everything they can't control or understand.
The US can afford to have an overly inflated military budget and M4A its not one or the other type of thing. The current elected officials just choose not to
It's not even a regime change war anymore. They've given up on that goal, and it doesn't seem they put a lot a lot of thought into it to begin with. They just started dropping bombs and hoped to figure out the next step as they went along. Now the opposition is dead, big oops, and whoever is left alive of the old regime can take over as far as trump cares. He's lost interest and wants to get back to golfing and selecting drapes for his ballroom.
It's not even a regime change! That'd at least be a stated goal, there is no stated goal! It's just bombs for the sake of bombs because they're all fucking 12 and think blowing up people is cool.
Don't worry, If America ever has an election again and the democrats get in then the republicans will blame the bill from the war on them and the idiots will believe it.
yeah but does healthcare create jobs in the military-industrial complex? does it drive spending on VERY expensive armaments? does it generate ptsd in veterans? does it accellerate the climate disaster? does it ruin global progress by crippling china? does it affirm the cultural differences and foster a zero-sum mentality between blocs of geopolitical and religious counterparts? Im just asking because these things are great to the republican mindset.
Everyone is always forgetting that war doesn't just cost money. Someone gets the money too, it doesn't vanish in the air like law suits against Trump or the kids he raped.
Exactly. People talk like the bombs are filled with cash and the bullets are made out of melted down coins. The government is paying the people who make war things and the military (barely). Is the cost over inflated? - yes. Is the money consolidated to those who have more than they ever need? - also yes. Money disappearing? - No
Ultimately it's about taking away your food and healthcare to enrich themselves. The regime change is just so they can get someone to bend the knee and play ball.
White people voted to close public pools for themselves because they didn't want to share them with Black people (whose taxes also paid for the pools). Literally everything in the US follows this model. It's literally insane.
Hard to watch NH go down this path. As a graduate of one of their better public schools decades ago its mind-blowing to see how little some kids these days come out with, I train some for work. But growing up through 9/11 and being of Syrian descent was certainly eye opening. I am unfortunately unsurprised by this states continued red tilt.

At least the country is almost 40 trillion in debt as well. Should be able to hit that by the end of the year easily #winning

It cost 30 billion dollars to fund 2 million for Healthcare?

Yep. Gotta keep the rich getting richer and war is good for that.

If we're that upset about it we could overthrow the warmongers in power. Do something about it if it truly upsets you.
Subsound
What are you doing about it?
Ive seen way too many middle managers say "we" need to do something, when they always mean "you"...
They are going to sit around playing games on their phone while everyone else does the real work.

It's always been about finding an excuse to put your tax dollars in their pockets.

Let's not forget that they have health care in Israel that we also pay for.

Oh good. I was wondering what Government was supposed to do! It isnt for The People at all!

ultimately it's so you can stop talking about the trump-epstein files. (partially successful)

But the administration says other countries are paying for the war because of the trillions the tariffs have brought in, right?
ParryLost
Trump is probably just gonna openly announce that it's a war for oil and that once US oil companies are in there they'll make back the money

"Brought in." Mostly domestically sourced, like 95%.

Yes, because with government health care, a black person might benefit, so none of you get it. (Yes, this is a fact)

Yup. Almost every weird problem in the USA can be traced to Reagan and/or racism

Imagine what your country could have if Americans actually put him in prison after his first election.

Imagine where our country would be if only we had

hanged the traitors of The Civil War instead of letting them drip their poison into the ears of the innocent for generations,
tempUser7824
But if the history of the U.S. shows anything it is that the one thing we don't do is hold the wealthy, connected, & powerful accountable.
tempUser7824
hanged Reagan when he went on national TV to admit his administration committed treason & prosecuted all his co conspiratorsx
tempUser7824
just prosecuted Trump at any time in his long life for any of the numerous egregious crimes he has committed throughout his lifetime.
tempUser7824
prosecuted George W. Bush for war crimes.
tempUser7824
imprisoned everyone in the Harding administration for corruption instead of allowing them to designate a fall guy
tempUser7824
prosecuted the robber barons who had labor rights leaders murdered instead of making deals with them

prosecuted the wealthy fascists who tried to overthrow the government in the business plot instead of allowing them to scrub their names from the Congressional Record
