Entitlements and war have bankrupted this country. But regardless, the warfare state has committed the U.S. to permanent bankruptcy in an unjustifiable fashion

I would wait to see if their legitimate and if so open communication. Not a fan of sanctions since it'll only push the region more into the hands of China and Russia but if women and children are being abused than sanctions and communication

Conquer is the wrong word. I mean win.

I'm by no means a US apologist but we spent billions upon billions of dollars training and equipping the Afghan Civil Army, and the second we leave they put down their weapons and let the Taliban take control of 14+ capitals. You can't fight every battle for another country forever. Well you can you're only postponing the inevitable. If they refuse to fight for themselves, another 20yrs and another trillion in spending isn't going to yield better results, unless we outright annex the territory, which I don't think anyone itt is in favor of

dont even hear conservatives talk like this anymore

Yeah i agree the endless wars were a waste but to blame social safety nets is scust

They represent 2/3rds of the budget lmao. If you talk about deficits and ignore the biggest portion of spending, you don't care about deficits.

So medicaid/medicare and Social security in your option is whats causing the deficit and not the Fed with a almost 0% interest rate and printing money like its going out of style to buy up corporate debt?

I wish the fed would buy my debt

Why Dems always gotta play the p**** bullshit tho

Stand behind your s***. You made the right move. Imagine apologizing, and in doing so purposefully setting yourself up for that weak image that your opponent is already trying to paint you as.

Without the fed printing money, we wouldn't be able to fund medicaid and medicare...

F*** the United States. F*** Nato. F*** everything about all of this.

S*** is too depressing

Whos gonna hold responsibility for all of this? This is a complete s***show.

The fed is printing money to prop up the stock market. If you look at your paycheck youd see a deduction for both SS and Medicaid along with federal income tax. None of that is being put towards quantitative easing and buying corporate debt their literally printing money from nothing to keep the markets afloat has been since 2019

For a fiscal conservative you should know all this already

When a crash comes it wont be from SS and healthcare it'll be from the fed no longer propping up the market

Just like 08 was from reckless investing in the housing market

If we take in 3 trillion in revenue and spend 4 trillion, we run a trillion dollar deficit. We are not spending a trillion of printed money on corporate debt yearly buddy. Theres balance sheets to prove it.

I just gave you two sources saying otherwise
What is it about those sources thats incorrect?

making arguments to spend more on social safety nets while complaining about the very institution that is printing the money youre spending

Ill ask you, how is social security paid for? Is it not from your pocket right? Your paycheck? Now: when the fed buys bonds to print money to pump into the stock market whos pocket is that coming out of? Not ours its money from nothing

just say you want more failed dem policy

Lol what are you talking about

Lmao one of the articles you linked is from someone that believes in slashing entitlements. Idk wtf you tryna say right now.

I never said the fed doesnt buy corporate bonds. I just said the purchase of corporate bonds does not account for the deficit in its entirety and it's nowhere near as costly as entitlement spending
