Does the United States have a spending problem? Obviously, but I really wanted to talk about how the cost of living crisis is presenting itself in your community. That relates to this article because you can’t squeeze blood from a stone. If all of you have no disposable income, no savings, and a job market that can’t support your current cost of living… What happens if you lose your job? Do you default on loan obligations along with America because we are stretched to the edge. Should we vote in members of congress to pass more tax breaks for private jets?Are mods whack? Let me know in the comments.

    Irrelevant goal post moving.

    The reason stated by the Biden administration was “The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to US national interests to ensure Israel is able to defend itself against the threats it faces” it was to protect Israel, nothing to do with American hostages.

    Some Democratic lawmakers have spoken of making the proposed $14.3 billion in American assistance to its Mideast ally contingent on concrete steps by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to reduce civilian casualties in Gaza during the war with Hamas.

    Congress was going to ask Israel to maybe do a little bit less genocide. Biden said fuck that and went around them to do as he pleases.

    Biden was a genocide enabling president and that makes Biden a bad president.

      My child I’ve been watching isreal stealing land a killing Palestinians for the last 40 years, maybe its not Bidens fault? By your definition and logic we’ve never had a good president, which is fair but why can’t we elect someone who doesn’t do genocide? Is the public dumb?

      Goal post moving? I said you were correct and I asked a follow up question. Glad it got a rise out of you tho: did you just experience nuance for a second?
