I got homless people sleeping in their cars at shopping centers in my neighborhood, 70yr olds working at Walmart, millions w/o health insurance.
We could have had free Universal Healthcare like most developed countries by now. Common man. Really frustrating.
The US has spent 8 TRILLION dollars since 9/11 on war in the Middle East, including interest on debt and healthcare costs for veterans (source: Brown University: https://costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/).
What did it get us? What did it get people in the ME? What did we lose?
$ for healthcare
$ for health research. Could we have cured cancer with that $$?
$ for more med school and residency spots and to fund med students' education
$ for education K-12
$ for lower-cost community college and trade schools
$ for mental health services
$ for homeless services/housing
$ for universal preschool/child care
$ for infrastructure: roads, bridges, airports, high-speed train corridors in the NE, West Coast, Midwest
Again, whenever issues above are brought up, people shout "where are we going to get the $$ for that??" I think the answer is pretty simple. See my first line above.
We're the stupidest country on the planet and it's bipartisan stupidity. We do NOTHING to benefit our people

CNN reporting from within Iran:
He filed an update on Thursday while on a coffee stop as he and his producer were driving to Tehran. While he and his crew had seen destroyed buildings, thick black smoke and checkpoints with armed personnel, Pleitgen said they had not witnessed “any sign of order collapsing here.”
Pleitgen added that “all the shops are open and really well-stocked, even with fresh things like fruits and vegetables.” Filming himself outside of a gas station, he also said there were “no long lines” and fuel seemed to be “readily available.” He added: “You just don’t see any sort of degree of panic anywhere.”

Well, money well spent, I guess lmao

Healthcare costs well over $1Trilliom per year. Israel isn't what you don't have universal healthcare.
Well if this isn’t the worlds dumbest analysis.

Chuck Schumer and Hakim Jeffries are going to stand up to the trump administration and make sure that they we send Israel at least 100 billion in lieu of 50 billion.

To be clear, MAGA is NOT happy about this. Anyone happy is not MAGA, that includes the President himself who seems to have been hijacked by neocons like Lindsay Graham.
Lindsay Graham? Not just him—ALL of them, except Massie and Rand Paul. MAGA morons have elected a whole Congress controlled by Israel.

Bibi learned flattering Trump is the way to get him to do something.
Wait Trump succumbs to flattery?? Who'da thunk it?

We don't need boots on the ground or Iranian oil. Boots on the ground will cause way more civilians and our military to die and increase our costs. The U.S. has plenty of oil and we sell our oil to others.

NO! NO! NO!
The coffers are empty. The GOP already added trillions of debt last year. Ask Elon and Jeff to pony up.
Why only the Goys?
What about Kushner, Adelson, Ellison, Bloomberg, Dell, Kraft, Ackman, Wexner, Gilbert, Sackler, Singer, etc.?
