Blows my mind you guys agree with all this foreign aid. America needs to put Americans first. Its not complicated. We are not the superpower we once were. Average Americans are struggling and the cost of living continues to rise

and here i thought we could stick a fork in fauxnews
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Common sense 101. America dont run the whole world anymore. We got problems of our own. Not even running our own damn country that well

No reason to be provoking a third world War dabbling in affairs that don't relate to us

Look at how bad inflation has been over the past several decades. Young adults can't afford to buy houses anymore

And in the middle of this dems and pubs are coming together tax their citizens and send it elsewhere. To create money that doesn't exist and magnify inflation


Why would anyone agree with foreign aid right now?

Why do we have such an interest in Ukraine? Whats the real reason. Someone else say it

It's been said here dozens of times. You just don't like the answer so you ignore it.

As has proven out, Russia invading another country's soil absolutely does relate to us. It affects us and everyone else around the world.

Yes. Decades. Do some research. About a century. Since the creation of the federal reserve the American dollar has lost over 90 percent of its domestic purchasing power

So, you're advocating for a US economy with a zero rate of inflation?

The point is the standard of living in the US has been falling off decade after decade. The cost of food homes educations is inflating muchhhh higher than wages. Taxes continue to rise.

Many Americans don't have any savings and struggle pay check to pay check.

Fixing that is a much bigger problem than Ukraine/Russias bullshit

He probably had better guidance and family investment than the typical 21 year old

I can't get over how dumb this is.

What taxes rose?

I'm not going to explain basic economics to you. You realize that the prices of education, housing, food, are inflating much quicker than wages, and thats been going on in this country for decades right

And new taxes and fees have been added/increasing on everything too
