$Billions for Ukraine to defend its borders, but not one penny for the USA to defend ours.

I checked with my four year grandson, he said go ahead and put it on his tab, he’s not going to be able to pay any of it back anyway.

Just wait.

Xi is meeting with the Saudis. They are discussing replacing the petrodollar with the Yuan.

IF that happens, overnight collapse of the US economy.

And yet, homeless American VETERANS live in tents and under bridges...

How I loathe Mother Government. But, you already knew that.

I am calling on all FReepers to take a look at their taxable income and do something about it. Read a tax table. Consult a tax attorney or get yourself an accountant. Take all the deductions you legally can, to keep your dollars in your own hands during the course of 2023 and beyond.

I know Mother Government can just print all the cash she wants, but it will do your heart good to know that YOUR hard-earned dollars aren’t going to fund this additional foolishness.

No tax refunds! Keep your money! WHY are you giving Mother Government an interest-free loan of thousands of dollars every year? Live below your means. Pay off any consumer debt (CCs, car) then double down on paying off your mortgage. Starve the BEAST!

Got that right. Of the $800M, perhaps upwards of $500M pays for various sizes of green screens, plus the cameras and computer equipment to make all the ‘Piano Player’s’ videos.

Call it a cool billion. Again, I ask the ether this question: how much more does biden have to give them of our money before Ukraine declares that his debt is paid and that they will not reveal what interesting facts they have on him that they are keeping sealed shut as long as he keeps coughing up the money?
