All of Europe’s socialist lifestyle ‘advantages’ are due to American largesse. Yes, it’s amazing how much more affordable healthcare is when the United States is providing global defense.

America could have some amazing things going on socially as well if we didn’t have to dump $1 trillion/year on defense spending, not to mention all the supplemental and emergency aid packages we yearly give.

This isn't said nearly enough; it ought to be shouted from the rooftops.

Western Europe has been living in America's basement since the end of the Second World War. I can also go to Europe and admire all of the benefits they have (well-paved highways, clean streets, well-maintained public transportation, et cetera). But the US taxpayer is living in what is increasingly a second- or third-world country because our money is going to other countries.

Just look at the reaction DJT ran into when he told the Euroländer that they were going to have to meet their financial obligations to NATO; they didn't want to hear it.
