You wear the innocent like protective armor around your corrupt actions. Despicable. Shame on you.

Reminds me of that line from the Bourne Identity…”Look at what they make you give”
To work for Trump you must be like Trump…I.e. Zero Morals, Ethics or Empathy.
The Trump voters on this Board don’t value the lives of African children, only Afrikaners.

That's an assinine comment.
The question is, should the US take on existential, destroying debt to help 8 billion people, such that it will soon be able to help no people.
Until the white African issue, I thought the left wanted that.
Turns out, the left only wants to destroy the United States with debt by giving loaned money to dark skinned people, and lighter skinned people must fend for themselves. Asylum only applies to some people, not all people, per the Left. From that perspective, the white African thing was instructive, because it exposed the Left as racist.
But either way, (taking on more debt to help all, or taking on more debt to help only darker skin colored peoples) the US will go bankrupt.
All aid should be cut until we can give it from our own pockets without going further into debt.
All spending of any type should be cut until we can pay it from our own pockets without going further into debt.
Yep, the analogy is that terrorists always hide among hostages. They wrap the innocent around their
own dirty actions.
Then, when the bad actors/actions have to be rooted out, they blame others for any innocent casualties.
Are you actually saying USAID has been a wasteful Government expenditure over the past 60 years?
(no message)
The past 60 years. not likely. The past 10 to 15 years, yes. When it was abused.

I'm saying we don't have the money for it. It's a simple fact you can't deny.

But we have money for the expenditures and tax cut extensions under the Mango bill?

Im consistent. Cut everything.
Tax cuts should stay in place until government shows it can cut spending consistently.
If deficit spending continues, I prefer not to burn my cash with higher taxes. I'll keep the money, and prepare for the coming financial crisis.
I hold little hope the Dems, GOP or Trump will reign in spending.
Good. Look forward to your criticism of the spending and tax cut bill in the weeks ahead
(no message)
I will criticize deficit spending no matter who does it.
Will you support cuts even if Trump does them? I've been amazed at the Left's opposition to Doge, while also criticizing Trump for spending too much. That is total TDS
"There's a better way to do it, but we oppose that, too." Yeah, whatever.
Whelp that’s who is doing it, so I expect see your criticism. DOGE is a joke which was designed
purely to make the govt. more inefficient with little savings. How many fuck ups did they have to fix? Firing nuclear stockpile inspectors? The latest claimed savings from all of their disruption is $170 billion which is disputed and a drop in the bucket compared the increased spending. They originally promised to save 2 trillion then 1 trillion. Complete BS.
Admit it. Any attempt to cut by Trump will result in attacks on Trump from the Left.
Trump pushing grandma off a cliff in a wheelchair chair, anyone?
Also, any attempt to spend more by Trump will result in attacks on Trump from the Left.
You have shown you will behave that way, which is hypocritical.
I will criticize all failures to cut deficit spending, regardless of who does it. Granted, at some point, with no politicians championing this (except maybe Rand Paul), it ceases to be a voting issue for me (no one to vote for on that issue), and you may just have to accept I will post on other topics instead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He’s so abused. He hasn’t yet put forth a real proposal to deal with the deficit.
Even a political hack like you knows that.
Are you saying USAID hasn't been horribly mismanaged?
(no message)
It has been a highly effective and important program for decades.
Perfect? No. Some waste? Some fraud? One will find the same in every department and agency, starting with Dept of Defense.
Utterly reckless and counter to US interests abroad to cut USAID off at the knees. Really stupid. And deadly.
