Obliged? You telling me that I'm obliged to ask you to spend my own money any damn way I see fit?
An oldie but a goodie.

Government officials from the top to the bottom have been corrupted somehow, or these bad decisions would NOT be made. Someone’s getting money/drugs/sex/etc. or all four to make bad decisions. Those who are doing such must be found, arrested, tried and executed for treason. Unless that happens pretty quickly, we will probably be destroyed in ONE DAY, just like Babylon.
Time for a NOT YOUR DADDY badges.
The New York Times is a maggot infested carcass.
Since 70% of the DEMCRATS favor the SAVE Act, then surely they can get a few Democrats to sponsor the bill?

But it’s really just a pretext for unlimited graft.
Very often, journalists, people involved with NGO's, academics, and a certain class of politicians move in the same social/political circles, very often including marriages or at least romantic relationships.
Take Samantha Power, who was the last Biden-appointed head of USAID. Prior to that, she was a journalist for the Boston Globe, The New Republic, and others. She then served in the State Department under Obama, and then after that, on the faculty of Harvard Law. NGO, journalist, academic, and government, all wrapped up in one person. Her husband Cass Sunstein, was a longtime Harvard professor and also part of the Obama Administration.
Multiply that times...thousands, and that's what we're dealing with.
What that means is that when someone in the NYT or wherever writes about the poor unfunded NGO's, he or she almost certainly knows friends, or spouses of friends, that work for that NGO and are at risk of losing their jobs. They're not engaging in "journalism" -- they're just trying to help our their friends so they don't have to feel awkward at the next cocktail party.
Most of those problems have been caused or exacerbated by the the Democratic Party, for whom the NYT serves as the Apologist of Record.
Liberals are allergic to logic, reason, and critical thinking.
They play on the affluent guilt of liberals who think they are saving the world.
I’d bet more than half of the money is kicked back to the NGOs and other government leeches.
They just need a few Learing Centers.
It certainly seems to be the case in California.
Democrats tell us that “the rich” need to pay “their fair share” - never mind that the top 1% pay almost 1/2 of state taxes.
Another billionaire is quietly fleeing the state...Mark Zuckerberg:
“Mark Zuckerberg is leaving California amid concerns over a proposed one-time 5% “billionaire tax” on individuals with a net worth over $1 billion. The tax, which could cost Zuckerberg over $10 billion, is retroactive to January 1, 2026, and has accelerated a wave of wealthy residents relocating from the state.”
Yes, I know: Taxes will be passed down onto the next level until there is no one left except for welfare recipients.
