Europe is running towards ruin.

“Make America the Shining City on the Hill Again!”

MASCHA!

Dead serious, I would not be surprised if they learned how US politicians learned to embezzle money. Maybe they also figured they don’t have to worry about anything resembling DOGE.

Well, with math like that, it’s no wonder they are in trouble...

Still wondering if any US taxpayer money was being laundered through Ukraine to Europe’s welfare states...

No wonder they’re broke. One euro = ~$1.07.

I think they’re trying to scale it to GNP, which makes sense, but their calculation should be lower, maybe $2.5T. Certainly a lot of money, but if it’s over a number of years, it’s still lower than what we waste.

One problem is that the Greenies are busy crippling their economies—making them uncompetitive in international markets—and it is just going to get worse and worse.

The Euros are all hat and no cattle.

They know how to do this; I have sheets of genuine 200 millionen Mark stamps, given to me by an old stamp collector in the 60’s. At one time, had these been legal tender, I could have bought Hamburg with them.

IMO this is the globalists (EU, WEF, IMF etc) looking to fleece the German people. Same crooks who got used to USAID money now going after their next target. None of the ‘infrastructure’ etc will ever be built. Same crap as zero’s ‘shovel ready’ scams.

The current exchange rate is 1.07. So way off.

We did. We spent more than 5 trillion during the “epidemic”

And we spend 7 trillion a year.

“500 billion euros. That’s over $5 trillion in U.S. terms.”

Say what?!?
