Betrayal? We could cut all aid and the entire Military Budget outside of healtchare, and we would still be in debt. Stockman has always been a putz

Thanks for pointing out the obvious

The US Government will spend $6.1 trillion this fiscal year ... that's 6,100 billion dollars (vs. 4.4 trillion in revenues)

The Ukraine-Israel-Taiwan package ($95 billion) is only 1.5% of that

Yet certain Freepers here moan endlessly about that $95 billion, "in the interests of the US taxpayer", but then say squat about the other 98.5% of the budget

No complaints, and no threads ever posted, about the bloated federal bureaucracy, the pork and wasteful spending, the built-in inefficiencies, the sheer overspending, etc. - all the things that are causing REAL damage, long-term

Just an obsessive focus on that 1.5% ... like the climate kooks are obsessed with the 1.3% of the atmosphere that is CO2 ...
