One day we will get to that position

It takes time.

People are seeing it now if FR is anything to go by.

Look at the responses to any of these threads

And we don’t hear a peep in the “media” about that.

The interest on the debt is now 662 billion dollars. All that money just to pay for the current debt! Insane! People go into Congress and come out as millionaires. They don’t want that gravy train to stop. Our enemies must be quite happy we cannot pay for the most basic need that a Government should do which is national defense. Allah Fubar!

Thank you for your post. It’s an outrage how the world completely ignores the plight of the Armenians and the fact that much of their land was recently stolen by Azerbaijan, Turkey’s Storm troopers.

It’s frustrating that Israel even denies the Armenian Genocide. Armenia is, literally, alone in the world.

Long live Armenia!

How about helping neither. A sovereign country shouldn’t be a welfare case for the U.S.

If you really want to get Freepers opposed to foreign aid, just start giving boatloads of money to countries filled with Muslims and swarthy people.

Israel can flatten Gaza without a single extra penny from us. It’s a 25 mile wide strip of land and we’ve sent billions every year for decades. They can handle it.

Cut off financial aid and student loans to anti-Semites enrolled in our Universities. That would be plenty enough to fund it.

End all Foriegn aid. It makes Israel too dependent on Biden as well.

The Muslims will attack Israel. Then Israel will be forced to nuke the entire Middle East.

Should of ended with Afghanistan withdrawal...

That should have saved the taxpayer $50 billion a year.

Instead greedy politicians found another cause.

Long live Armenia!

Not for long. The Armenians have been abandoned for decades. We support Muslims, Palestinians, Croatians and illegals. The Armenians get no support.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO HELP AMERICANS!!!

14 Billion will make the difference? Our carriers are there are there. That is enough deterrence.

Support 100 Israel 100 percent, but they don’t need our aid. We should lend lease wepons.

Serious Question.
What would it take to put the US back on a positive basis financially? Say President Trump returns to office in 2025?
Become energy independent again? Export modular nuclear power module plants? Resume manufacturing in the USA with cheaper energy costs? Export arms as needed and saleable? Abandon EV electric plug in only vehicles and sell IC cars/trucks plus hybrids? Return rare earth metal exploration to home turf. use the illegal immigrants here to increase food production? Build new cities with these people and help them prosper in nthe American way?

You hate Israel, you have made it plain. Meantime, you refuse to fly a flag on the US on your page, yes I know your excuses.

No one is nuking anyone!

Wish people would stop with this rhetoric it’s very dangerous to casually throw it around (imo).
