You Sir are a US Patriot.Me personally I would never defend this awful racist evil country.Part of me wishes Putin nukes the hell out of it.
The House creates the budget It helped that Clinton was good at triangulation Under Bush, Reagan, Trump, the focus was to spend more on defense and in order to get the Democrats to sign off they would extort for more spending for welfare
My memory says they weren't located in or financed by Iraq, although I'm sure there are some grey areas involved. The main reasons the US attacked Iraq were largely made up ( e.g. the WMDs). Afghanistan was a more credible target. Canada's position was along those lines. The US tended to prop up and support these Middle East guys than turn on them later.
In reality the President sets the agenda.The Trump and Bush tax cuts are called the Trump and Bush tax cuts,not The House tax cuts. Under Bush, Reagan, Trump there were massive deficit increases,massive deficit decreases under Clinton and Obama.
I did not imply it was their "headquarters" or only location. I'm stating several leaders in the terrorist organization called Al-Qaeda had training camps in Iraq at the instructions of Bin Laden...the grey areas you've mentioned. Regardless, if a terrorist organization attacks the cities in your country...it's no different than a terrorist organization training and being financed in another country who denies the presence of that terrorist organization with training camps in that country. There's a good chance the governments of those countries will be at war regardless of the LIES to get to that point. Afghanistan has always and will always be a puppet for was because of whom they allow to control their country...similar to Hamas (another terrorist organization) in Palestine. It has always been that way. Terrorist organizations hide their elements in countries, their training camps in other countries while being financed by someone in a different country. That has always been the calling card of terrorist organizations and it makes it extremely difficult to weed them out. Cut the head off...there are other heads like a Medusa. I think leaders of countries want to protect their citizens if they have reliable intel that there will be further attacks against their citizens in their cities after an initial attack by a terrorist organization. Like I said before, you need to cut the head off at all cost while knowing there are other heads on the Medusa who will make it more costly to America's finances and lives. No matter the cost, they can not be allowed to continue attacking your citizens without any consequences to them, to those that help them, to those that finance them, or to those who support them. It reminds me of the stories my grandfather wrote in his military journals when the United States dropped nukes on Japan to end a very costly war in finance and lives...many were outraged but it needed to be done...no matter the cost because Japan essentially begin to help finance other militia groups around the world who wanted to help them expand imperialism. Anyone that knows anything about America's history of going to war...our country do not care about costs (finances) especially with it's finance history at all cost in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWI, WWII but many begin to become more concern about the finances (cost of war) during the Korean war / Vietnam war / Gulf war...until 911. A colonel (now a general) once told me that by the time of War...shit has already been happening behind the scenes many months or years before a War that the public never knows about. wrbtrader
Should I trust you who posts opinion or should we look at what people smarter than both of us say. I JUST SHOWED YOU EVIDENCE...that is how refutation works. The tax legislation that President Donald Trump signed in December 2017 significantly reduced federal revenues, with the largest tax cuts going to the richest Americans. Following the enactment of these tax cuts, federal revenues fell dramatically—as the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) and Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected would occur at the time the law passed1—and they remain below projections of federal revenues made prior to their enactment. Other politicians have cited increases in nominal revenues relative to pre-tax cut projections as evidence that the Trump tax cuts increased revenues. But much of this reflects COVID-19 policies, the expiration of the tax law’s business provisions that proponents want to extend, and higher-than-expected inflation. In 2023, nominal revenues were 6 percent below pre-pandemic projections after adjusting for inflation. According to the Treasury Department’s monthly receipts, federal revenues totaled $3.33 trillion in calendar year 2018 — the first full year since the tax cuts became law – down slightly from $3.34 trillion in the previous calendar year. The trend can also be seen in this fiscal year, which began Oct. 1, 2018. Receipts totaled $1.28 trillion during the first five months of fiscal year 2019 — “$4 billion less than during the same period last year,” according to the CBO’s monthly budget review for February released last week.
Bush didn't even claim that,he said WMD's. Bush and Cheney tried their hardest to find an Iraq/Al Qaeda connection and couldn't.
Yes, the United States has a racist history for what it has done to Native Americans, Black Americans, Japanese Americans et cetera. With that said, I could never wish Putin nukes the United States...the country I grew up in, the country my relatives live in, the country my ancestors and I served in the military unless I was a foreigner looking at the U.S. from the outside. Seriously, who in their right mind would want another country to drop a nuclear bomb on their head, or on their family and friends ??? wrbtrader
