Your post to explain why our inflation was the lowest in the world

I didn’t explain a thing. You are lost in TDS

for first world nations was….???? SILENCE. Let’s face facts. You are no match for my debate skills…

Find a skill and come back.

My secret weapon? Is facts.

You wouldn’t know what a fact was if you shit one out!

FACT: US had a low inflation rate compared to other nations also affected by Covid.

Relevance for Americans?

I didn’t explain a thing.

No doubt. We agree on something! Trump is driving prices up through his own actions. That is documented. And as I stated our inflation under Covid was BETTER than others meaning we did things to mitigate… thanks Biden.

You wouldn’t know what a fact was if you shit one out!

As a Trump supporter it makes sense that is how you think facts are gathered.

Relevance for Americans?

Trump’s an idiot. Un-American and incompetent. This will be be the second term he leaves a disaster.

Name something!

Biden’s inflation affected Americans! 8% 6.00 gas, and for you no one suffered or was affected! Yet doctors nurses and military lost jobs because of king’s mandate

From democrats you’re correct

Trump’s an idiot. Un-American and incompetent. This will be be the second term he leaves a disaster.

Gas.

Covid wasn’t caused by Biden or Trump. We handled the economic impact better than anyone. You still haven’t explained how that happened.

 

[jc456]

Gas.

That’s not due to economics, that’s Iran strangling the world no one knew existed except Trump.

Covid wasn’t caused by Biden or Trump. We handled the economic impact better than anyone. You still haven’t explained how that happened.

Wuhan didn’t exist, it was a hoax created to get to trump.

That’s nuts dude. Thanks for clearing up the fact you can’t be reached.

These posters always flame out as conspiracy whackos when you press them on facts.

You guys see he still can’t explain why our GDP was better and Inflation lower than our peer nations? But he pulled out the nut case conspiracy theories as a reflex to my body blows.

Borders closed energy independence, no democrats in charge

The only way to have true energy independence is to nationalize the oil industry. Otherwise those companies that pull it out of the ground are free to sell it to anyone anywhere.

I heard Dotard make remarks about this while I was listening to the radio. He said the federal government can't afford paying for the social safety net programs any longer. The states need to do that.

The material effect, either higher federal taxes or a higher federal deficit. For the states, higher taxes to pick up the slack in safety net programs. So, higher taxes for state and federal tax payers to fund the Pentagon's wasteful wars with less economic security in their lives.

Sounds like a Repub government policy for sure.

"safety net" isn't in the Constitution, Stupid.

National defense is.

More of a 'wish-list' than any sort of law.

But it does show where his head is at..and clearly, any increase in war spending must be matched by a decrease in spending elsewhere.
Historically, that comes at the expense of social programs--and since Trump knows that most of those who use such programs are never going to vote for him anyway, it's an easy target.

Trump budget seeks $1.5T in defense spending alongside cuts in domestic programs

President Donald Trump has proposed boosting defense spending to $1.5 trillion in his 2027 budget released Friday, the largest such request in decades, reflecting his emphasis on U.S. military investments over domestic programs.

President Donald Trump has proposed boosting defense spending to $1.5 trillion in his 2027 budget released Friday, the largest such request in decades, reflecting his emphasis on U.S. military investments over domestic programs.

The sizable increase for the Pentagon, some 44%, had been telegraphed by the Republican president even before the the U.S.-led war against Iran. The president’s plan would also reduce spending on non-defense programs by 10%.

“President Trump promised to reinvest in America’s national security infrastructure, to make sure our nation is safe in a dangerous world,” wrote Budget Director Russell Vought.

The president’s annual budget is considered a reflection of the administration’s values and does not carry the force of law. The massive document typically highlights an administration’s priorities, but Congress, which handles federal spending issues, is free to reject it and often does.

I do not agree with the budget for the military. Its ridiculous.
But that the military is an actual job of the federal government. Social programs benefitting individuals is not. They do not even have that power in the constitution.
Alas, we are here. Because people are pathetic.

Show me where is says to spend $1.5T

Why?

 

[citygator]

Hmmm.

 

[Nostra]

Hmmm.

So you have no clue why you asked the question.

Got it.

$1.5T is a ridiculous number to put in a budget. He might as well put in a size 32" pair of pants in his closet.

Not sure what your misguided OPINION has to do with the Constitution giving the power of national defense to the feds.

That's not what this thread is about... oh wait.. this is Nostra... I forgot you can barely read. My bad. That's on me for engaging.

So, you are saying a thread about DEFENSE SPENDING has nothing to do with national defense.

I think we are done here, Simp.

Trump wants a big navy, a "Golden Dome" star wars defense shield, AI systems (Sky Net?), drones, missiles, bombs, and maintenance. A very big "wish list". A $600b bump in one year is too much.
Star Wars is another Maginot Line, Putin's Oreshnik and Poseidon are unstoppable currently, work on stopping those
A big Navy isn't needed
AI for defense is Sky Net
Drone warfare is a must, but Ukrainians do it cheaply

Buddy. I am so sorry. I totally forget you cant read. A thread on a defense spending proposal that is ridiculously too high has nothing to do with the constitution. You continue to entertain me at your expense.
