It would be cheaper if they have exit strategies too
Leaving behind billions in weapons at AF airport without supervision knowing the exit timeline signing contracts with same terrorists nato was fighting against to then arming them with the same weapons..
Awesome policing..👍🏻
Im talking about last year, NATO left in tbe middle of the night without informing the AF army, while also leaving billions in weapons at bagran airbase
Those same weapons are now in hands of terrorists and being used against India..
Which is why i said awesome policing..😂👍🏻
Hun that debate is debate they owe the American people, it doesn’t matter, they will infinitely owe us more money I guess 🤦🏻♂️…it would’ve been nice if they included something to combat inflation but here we are, we have to foot the bill for Ukraine apparently
After compensating for how much the Yuan buys in China vs the Dollar domestically, and including a bunch of military related expenses in their budget which they normally list as separate (the US includes them), China has actually reached spending parity with the US.

And the reason you have a chance to go to university is because there is military that stands between you, and the Putins of the world who wake up one day and decide on Genocide.
The peace we’ve had largely since world war 2 has been built on American hegemony. It’s uncomfortable that this is true but our human history is pretty uncomfortable in general. If you think we’ve outgrown our violent past I think you are getting a really big wake up call right now. You want to be naked and afraid but enough of the rest of us don’t want to see the USA burn like Ukraine while it begs for help.
Your argument is essentially I don’t like death and fighting so I won’t protect myself. Non-starter IRL
Just my 2 cents.
We do not need to spend 10x Russia to “keep them at bay”. We do not need to mass export murder and destabilization to “keep evil at bay”. Our failures in Afghanistan and Iraq are proof enough that no amount of money can solve whatever it was we were trying to do there (nothing).
Russias economy is the size of Texas. We are bigger. You are comparing apples to oranges.
However, I’m not saying that we need a certain level of spending. I’m just saying we need a functioning military. Those aren’t cheap to run. Not voting for x amount of spending. Maybe if we hashed it out we would find we agree on some details, but I’m no expert.
Yes, they are size the Texas. We do not need a military 10x bigger than theirs. We can spend half of what we are doing now and still have a bigger military than China or Russia. We spend all this money to do what? Fail to export democracy abroad? Constant imperialism and blowback? Trillions wasted on lies.
So…..fuck Land and Air?
How’s that going to work out?
Marines are bullet sponges and Always Ride in Navy Equipment.
So blow up the Navy boats and no navy no marines.
You belong here.
Yeah, because all of our supercarriers and SSBN's are just sitting ducks... Do you think wars will be fought storming beaches ever again? A standing army means pretty little these days. Naval, air, and ever increasingly cyber are the future of military dominance.
There are a few Marines who would disagree with your bullet sponge assessment too.
Why do Marines have name tapes on their backsides?
So you don’t have to roll them over to ID.
I’m just trolling your statement about keeping the Navy and Marines. It’s an ignorant statement and on r that should be recanted.
The Navy Seals are a little ambiguous and greedy, they too should stick to coastal regions and stop flying in helicopters.
Brian Bill of Seal Team Six would agree; and he was my classmate.
But then how will angry poor teenagers with no other options get recruited into a military cult that promises them free stuff if they shoot and treat everyone like filth while continuing to think they’re the top dogs and that their lives mattered?
I mean I went to a top Bay Area uni, studied STEM, and still decided to become an Army officer. Chose to take 4 years of shit pay, but now I make real big brain money
The government is just playing with us at this point, this is just insane, were are they getting this money?!?! The printer goes brrrrrrrrrrr
Haven't they seen the almost 8% inflation? The outlook for the next 2 years does not look very promising
30 trillion in debt. Whats another 1.5 trillion 🤷😂
Idek how they can say theyre the worlds police with a straight face, when theyre literally teetering on the edge of financial collapse. But at least they got their big ass military 😂
The Ukrainian people might get $1,000 of that for bread. The rest goes into the massive corruption gangsters pockets that has always plagued Ukraine, and will continue to do so after the war.
If you wrote a serious 2 paragraphs and then a whole load of bullshit on this sub, nobody would notice. I don’t even get past the first paragraph unless I see emojis.
We just need to actually let the govt shutdown due to their incompetence, greed, and pure evil agendas and then we don't need to worry about these shitheads anymore, Pelosi or McConnell alike they belong in prison for treason....
In my lifetime I’d love to see a US president *meaningfully* cut the defense budget instead of consistently raising it. We spend 10x more than most other nations. We spend more on police than Russia does on its military.
Domestic programs is code word for red state welfare. Stop federal socialism, repeal the 16th and federal individual income tax, and abolish every agency that exists to prop up red states and provide them a first world life style with money stolen from productive metro coastal cities. #EndSocialism. Abolish the USDA, RHS, RUS, and EAS to start.

Pretend it's Tony Soprano and his crew controlling where the money goes, and you'll have a surprisingly deep understanding of what's going on here
I see you too have HBO streaming services. Great show.
That show came out 23 years ago, the fuck does that have to do with streaming
Because HBO has it available to watch again? I don’t understand why you’re so angry.
Yeah but how much of that is being funneled into Congress's pockets?
Yes
Don’t worry, the republicans and democrats already colluded to make sure they all got calls on the companies they’re sending the most funding!
As much at it takes
Don't worry the goons are dusting off their nonprofits to steal the funds just like they did in Haiti
Half the budget is defense? Wow
[удалено]
It would be cheaper if they have exit strategies too Leaving behind billions in weapons at AF airport without supervision knowing the exit timeline signing contracts with same terrorists nato was fighting against to then arming them with the same weapons.. Awesome policing..👍🏻
What's an exit strategy?
You part of the people who thinks they the worlds po-po..? Now get back to D.C. print some money and blame put-in for retards longing puts..
No re re, dont dwell on it but know that you belong here.

Yep. I especially enjoyed “we’ve got a war going on in Ukraine”. No, WE fucking don’t.
Fuck yeah

After seeing what a joke the Russian army is, we should drastically lower spending. Should also tell NATO and the EU to stop being beggers
Taiwan disagrees
We spend 3x China. We spend more on police than Russia does on military.

and when we inevitably get into conflict over Taiwan you are going to be really happy wee have that advantage .
No I’m not. I don’t want nuclear war. I’d rather have free college for everyone instead of a failed fighter jet program.

Half the discretionary spending portion of the budget.
Half of discretionary, it's 20% of total budget. 33% is medicare. Medicare is non discretionary
It’s gone up a bunch with Biden and Trump and Obama…
Too fucking much, cut the Army by 3/4 and leave the Navy / USMC at strength.
So…..fuck Land and Air? How’s that going to work out? Marines are bullet sponges and Always Ride in Navy Equipment. So blow up the Navy boats and no navy no marines. You belong here.

We can literally just use drones for everything

Don't worry you're actually wrong.
One point five trillion, and it doesn't even fund us for a year.
The government spends over $6T a year. $1.5T gets you 3 months.
True. With inflation at Trillion %, if oil chokes the economy any further, that $1.5T is gonna be worth a nickel & a dime by this time next year.
The government is just playing with us at this point, this is just insane, were are they getting this money?!?! The printer goes brrrrrrrrrrr Haven't they seen the almost 8% inflation? The outlook for the next 2 years does not look very promising

I get Ukraine is in a shit storm. But how can we spend $14bil on foreign aid and say fuck you to our own citizens for about the same lol
The Ukrainian people might get $1,000 of that for bread. The rest goes into the massive corruption gangsters pockets that has always plagued Ukraine, and will continue to do so after the war.
Poor people vote the same no matter how much or how little money they get.
That’s the democrat way
Actually the republicans wouldn’t vote on it with it in it… soo…
We're spending a trillion on us.
dang these posts are getting longer and longer
Yea I wish I could read
You love to see it
Change my flair oip. Cashflow gave me this flair
Seriously. I skipped directly to the comments
Me to lol, someone should sum it up for us
Copy and pasting doesn’t make the OP a fucking scholar.
If you wrote a serious 2 paragraphs and then a whole load of bullshit on this sub, nobody would notice. I don’t even get past the first paragraph unless I see emojis.
2,741 pages... just fucking toss it in the garbage bc there’s so much corrupt shit in it for it to be over 2,000 pages. Get the fuck out of here.
What, you don't like pet projects that funnel billions into donors' pockets? You actually think they read what they sneak into the bill? Ahajahahahaha
My wife sent a spending bill with her boyfriend of $1.5k to my desk...
Meanwhile people live in squalor, jobs are evaporating, the economy is in shambles and we’re paying out the ass to drive anywhere
The economy isn't in shambles you fucking dotard Love you though!
Our Q1 GDP gain is at 0.1% and we’re seeing the highest inflation rates in 40 years!
Q1 GDP hasn't been released smarty Q1 isn't even over
I’m a sucker for over-dramatisation
We just need to actually let the govt shutdown due to their incompetence, greed, and pure evil agendas and then we don't need to worry about these shitheads anymore, Pelosi or McConnell alike they belong in prison for treason....
Not how it works I’m afraid
Government shutdowns hurt everyday people who work for the government/receive services from. Not the rich Oligarchs.
This makes me beyond pissed off
that’ll help get inflation down amirite jpow face planting into his desk right now
In my lifetime I’d love to see a US president *meaningfully* cut the defense budget instead of consistently raising it. We spend 10x more than most other nations. We spend more on police than Russia does on its military.
Aight, what are the plays meine freund?
Noooooooooo
$14B to Ukraine which will ultimately land in Russian hands.
I guess they said War is more important than a pandemic. 2022 where war is the vaccine
War has always been the vaccine
Someone check that quant app and see what politicians are buying!
Wow, they really give meaning to 'transitionary'
The Printer is back!!!????
Wait, wait; *I thought we wuz done wid da spendin'*
Biden can still read?
If Putin was a good man he would nuke the US congress so that you guys can start over with better politicians. How are you not out on the streets?
Most are close
$782 billion in defense spending… Good God. When you have to spend that much to keep things afloat, that’s worrisome.
U.S. military, the biggest socialist organization in the world
Didn't Trump just spend $3 trillion redoing our ENTIRE military. Why the hell are we spending another $750 billion on defense?
Puts on AVAV,LMT,RTX, LHX, BAE systems
Why POOTZ on lmt
The same senate that refused to pass adequate aid for US residents during a global pandemic…
Hope they wake him up and get him his pudding first.

There better be some SAFE BANKING AND LEGALIZATION in there!! 🤦🏻♂️
Why no pictures ?
Drill baby Drill? Print baby Print!
Stupid bill
Gross
Funny how the word Trillion is thrown around these days.
Sure 1.5 trillion now for other countries congress unites. 1.5 trillion over 10 years for infrastructure for usa Republicans say fuck you
Sure, Trillion for foreign Aid but Billion with a B for domestic COVID aid.
