WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen calmed growing concerns throughout the nation's capital this week by explaining the United States can easily afford to pay for two separate foreign wars because of the 20% "Friends & Family" discount she receives from Raytheon.
"I've got you covered!" Yellen said with a smile after multiple U.S. officials expressed doubt the country could stay afloat financially while simultaneously funding wars in Israel and Ukraine. "With the killer discount I get from Raytheon, we'll be bombing people into oblivion on two continents, all without breaking the bank!"
Yellen then produced her limited edition Raytheon Gold Card and offered to put the wars on her personal tab. "Janet really bailed us out on this one," said Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "She even has a ‘Preferred Customer' Raytheon punch card, so we're only a couple more wars away from getting a free war! Taiwan, here we come!"
The Treasury Secretary was all too happy to help out. "Running a country can be expensive," she said, "especially when it doesn't even bother to pay its own debts. Thankfully, with this ‘Friends & Family' discount, we'll be mortgaging the future of our country at a much more favorable rate! Thanks, Raytheon!"
At publishing time, Yellen had scheduled a meeting with Pentagon officials to tell them about Raytheon's new promotion that would allow the U.S. to save big on wars by bundling them together.
But will she survive the fallout to enjoy it?
That question should seriously be asked by everybody planning the next horrific war.
Unintended consequences always happen in the fog of war.
LOL
LOL!
Yellen Says U.S. Can Afford Two Wars Because She Gets A 20% ‘Friends & Family’ Discount With Raytheon and her discount goes way up when Russian and China take on the self-weakening West.
Why is anyone listening to this idiot? She knows nothing about strategic readiness. It’s like a professional athlete explaining how to do brain surgery.
Pentagon a front building for Raytheon lobbyists count cash.
She also tries to do bulk purchases on “Senior Day”, on the first Wednesday of the month.
“Janet really bailed us out on this one,” said Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr., Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “She even has a ‘Preferred Customer’ Raytheon punch card, so we’re only a couple more wars away from getting a free war! Taiwan, here we come!”
“With the killer discount I get from Raytheon, we’ll be bombing people into oblivion on two continents, all without breaking the bank!” Yellen giggled, and even offered to put the wars on her personal tab.
Wars? Heck, w/ that kind of a discount we could even finance “saving civilization.”
Go vote for Omar.
“Go vote for Omar.”
She doesn’t need your vote and mine.
Your screen name really gives you away. Foreigners think Americans are all cowboys.
Ok, jerkface, 4th Generation American. My Great- Grandfather helped to build the Empire State Bulding, my Granfather was wounded at the battle of the buldge, my brother is in the Army. DON’T YOU EVER QUESTION MY AMERICANISM, slink away in shame you antisemtic scum.
AND at the same time?
What if China gets into the act?
BUT NOW
the spectre of a NUCLEAR WORLD WAR III is looming on the horizon, and
AND the USA
is "led" by an incompetent President and a corrupt Federal Government,
is informed by a mendacious news media that serves as a propaganda machine and praetorian guard for the corrupt establishment,
is "protected" by a woke, trannie military whose mission is diversity and inclusiveness NOT national defense,
is educated by a mendacious system that holds truth in contempt and teaches students to hate their own country,
is dependent upon a feckless and incompetent Supreme Court,
is shackled by an unreliable electoral system,
and is paralysed by half of its population who have allowed themselves to be brainwashed and gives its tacit approval to all of the above.
The USA--and the world--could hardly be in a more dangerous situation.
If the American People do not wake up fast, they're going to lose a lot more than just the Republic!

And they do it again. 😄
I think Yellen even throws in a couple buffet
meals at the Golden Corral for our fighting men.
Dude (or Dudette), it is SATIRE. You have been stung by the Bee.
