A lot of warlords are going to be ticked that they can’t steal the stuff any more.
No money to muzzie countries, or to corrupt regimes.
I remember Obama’s budgets getting voted down about 97-0 by the Senate. Then the House never passed a budget, which is why we have CRs and shutdowns.
It will be interesting to see if the new Democrat House does its Constitutional mandated job of producing a budget.
Haha.
Patriots are reminded that Justice Joseph Story had noted that Congress cannot use the General Welfare Clause (1.8.1) as an excuse to justify appropriating taxes for foreign aid.
”If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2
So PDJT’s uncommon common sense is once again helping to push the nation back on its constitutional foundation.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA!
All foreign aid should be eliminated. I’m sure I’ll get some hate but we don’t really need to increase defense budget unless it’s to build a wall.
Why do we continue the charade of submitting budget proposals to Congress? It’s a waste of everyone’s time.
