  1. The United States was not involved in WW2 until Japan bombed Pearl Harbour. Military assistance to Ukraine in the form of weapons represents 5.6% of total US defense spending.  The US defense budget is 842 billion. Congress sets spending priorities. The Constitution makes clear that Congress holds the power of the purse, giving it authority “to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,” and specifying that “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by law.” In short, federal taxing and spending requires legislation that is enacted into law. If you feel that the United States spends too much on something you don't agree with, you will need to vote differently. Question: How likely is it that the military budget would be reduced to save taxpayers money? Answer: Highly unlikely. Helping Ukraine serves American interests.

  2. The Mango Mussolini speaks what's on his mind, often as soon as it appears there. And after winning his third-straight contest in Nevada Tuesday, Trump credited his "poorly educated" supporters, in part, for the win. "We won the evangelicals. We won with the young. We won with old. We won with the highly educated. We won with the poorly educated. I love the poorly educated," he said during his victory speech.

  4. Trump was in office for 4 years and didn't fix immigration. "President Trump entered the White House with the goal of reducing legal immigration by 63 percent. Trump was wildly successful in reducing legal immigration. By November 2020, the Trump administration reduced the number of green cards issued to people abroad by at least 418,453 and the number of non‐​immigrant visas by at least 11,178,668 during his first term through November 2020.  President Trump also entered the White House with the goal of eliminating illegal immigration but Trump oversaw a virtual collapse in interior immigration enforcement and the stabilization of the illegal immigrant population. Thus, Trump succeeded in reduce legal immigration and failed to eliminate illegal immigration." Cato Institute

  5. Trump economic policy decisions caused inflation. "While the effects of a very large tax overhaul will take years to fully develop and analyze, the evidence from the first two years suggests that corporate tax cuts are draining revenue from the U.S. Treasury while doing little that would ultimately benefit U.S. workers. Instead of trickling down to workers, the 2017 tax cuts have largely served to line the pockets of already wealthy investors—further increasing inequality—with little to show for it. Donald Trump’s tariffs and the trade war his administration launched against China turned out to be far more damaging than many believed. That is the conclusion of research finding companies, consumers and the U.S. economy paid a heavy price for the Trump administration’s protectionist trade policies. Most of Donald Trump’s political appeal rested on being a businessman (as portrayed on The Apprentice) and his perceived stewardship of the U.S. economy. The latest research illustrates the negative impact of his trade policy, leading one to conclude that to the extent a president manages the economy, Donald Trump managed it poorly." Forbes

  6. NWO is a professional wrestling stable that originally consisted of "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. The stable originated in World Championship Wrestling with the gimmick of a group of unsanctioned wrestlers aiming to "take over" and control WCW in the manner of a street gang.

  7. Democrooks? Trump's company was convicted of stealing taxpayer money. So many gullible rubes keep following the Mango Mussolini despite all the warning signs. "The ‘big rip-off’: how Trump exploited his fans with ‘election defense’ fund. The former president used donations to a nonexistent legal defense fund for his hotels and the January 6 Ellipse rally."

  13. If you want to address different priorities, you will need to vote differently. The U.S. Constitution gives Congress the ability to create a federal budget – in other words, to determine how much money the government can spend over the course of the upcoming fiscal year.

  14. No. After 1989, its institutional environment was transformed from a command economy based upon socialist organizations to a capitalistic system.

  15. Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It Will Weigh Down the Economy for Years to Come. The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts caused it to surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.
