[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we stopped sending money to other countries for warfare, we could afford to pay people livable wages and healthcare and educational expenses that would make them want to become productive members of society. Paying someone $17/hour when they have a family or want to start a family is not sustainable, they can make more money stealing, looting, and robbing.  [/quote]

dont be ridiculous, US' defense budget is almost 1trillion a year and is all spent in the US. money sent to Ukraine is a negligible fraction and, as indicated by the WP today https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/29/ukraine-military-aid-american-economy-boost/, most of the money allocated to Ukraine stays in the US. we should cut the defense budget and significantly, and good luck with that.   also, none of the people arrested for carjackings show that they do it because they are working low wage jobs and need to support their families. many in DC are done by kids in or barely out of MS that use the cars for joyrides and abandon them right after[/quote]
