Trump said he was gonna veto this one a while back

@Dumbass the Thonk Engine Its the nature of the government. Ask not what we 'need' to spend on, as what we don't 'need' to spend on

You'll get a much shorter list

Lol true

If we could get our spending under control we would be waaaay better off

but that is the least likely thing to ever happen

Step one is stop sending cash to countries, organizations, and people who hate our guts

That's prolly a few billion right there

Step two: No long, drawn out wars.

a country fucks with us, we just reduce it to glass and broken concrete

Exactly

A few hundred million over the course of an hour ONCE is more cost effective than constantly bleeding a few million a day over what? the better part of 2 decades?

"They have WMDS"

*One carpet bomb later*

"Not anymore"

WMDS = Waste management derangement syndrome?

They have WMDs
[lots of explosions]
They had WMDs

Step three: shore up the wall. No more immigrants, illegal or otherwise.
How do we enforce that? See step 2.

The annoying this is

The solution is simple

But not one has the balls to do it

They all have their grimy little hands in the money pot

And none of them are going to take them out

The US doesn't know how to not be in endless, useless conflict

We don't need to police the world

Or give foreign aid to "fix" nations

TBH we are too big for our own good

too pussified

Hell, we don't even really WANT to. But the alternative, realistically, are powers far far worse policing the world.

If we REALLY wanted to help these nations we could have

Who cares about the other countries? Seriously.

What about the people in the US?

Honestly if we any sort of actual effort into it we could have conquered the middle east

The thing is

we could have helped them

But do we fucking need to? No.

and actually helped them

for half the price of what we've done

I car about other countries insofar that they are populations that can be used against us, resources rightfully ours by right of might, and realestate that we could use to expand. *Actually* expand.

which has done anything but help them

We could have mopped up the middle east 40 years ago
