Why do people complain about our tax dollars going to Ukraine and Israel? Don’t you feel bad about what’s happening to those people?

They are getting bombed left and right while we live in peace. We shouldn’t help anyone then?

Sure a lot of us feel bad but that doesn’t mean I have to send them my money. Sending money doesn’t mean I care more. We have a lot of things going on in our own country. A lot of people can’t afford it. Why can’t we help our own people? Single moms. Homeless veterans. Homeless in general. We have a trillion dollar deficit. Our borders are being overrun but our government is ok w that. But the minute Russia invaded another country we Biden wants to help secure their borders. Government almost shut down at the beginning of the month because of a lot of things including finances, but the minus this war started overseas they were ready to send them billions. We can’t keep taking care of everyone else. To my knowledge no country has ever helped us in times of a crisis financially. Maybe I’m wrong. Even so we’ve helped more countries than they’ve helped us. Let me guess you probably still live at home? Going to college? Again maybe I’m wrong. If you’re working then get online, donate your next check.

I feel worse about how people in this country are treated. Elderly are the fastest growing group that is descending into poverty. Veterans are living on the street, There is a growing homeless problem as well. Not to mention the 33 Trillion dollar deficit. We really have no stake in a war on the other side of the world. Biden says if Putin wins the Balkans are next. He is trying to panic the public into approving his requests for another 100 Billion. The money would be better spent in the US. Let NATO fund the next 100 billion if they want.

Because we can't afford it. Our dollar is worth crap now thanks to the out of control spending. Anyone that wants to donate out your own pocket, feel free to pony up. Some of us don't want to be the world's daddy. It's funny how we always hear about how the United States needs to stay out of the rest the world's business, until they come running to us with their hands out when something happens. Like Zelenskyy whining about how we need to do more.

We literally have trillions of dollars

We are literally trillions of dollars in debt. Go take an economics class.

I'm not from the US, but I've seen people from there saying that money should be used to solve some of the issues that the country has.
Maybe that's how more Americans feel.

[Asker]

We should spend money on what exactly? We are fine in comparison to getting bombed.

[menina]

They say that it should be spent on housing and healthcare for instance.

That's true, I agree with you even though I'm not there.

[jahaims]

Those funds can be better used in the states. We have a crumbling infrastructure, a failed education system, homeless veterans that don't get even basic care, a mental health crisis across the country and the list can go on and on. America> everything else. Also every war America has been involved in after ww2 has been for war profiteering.

[jshm2]

No. Those idiots chose what happened to them. Us giving them more money for their pig-headed choice is just wrong at best.

How much have you personally written out of your checking account to them?

[Asker]

I am not rich

That wasn’t my question.

Because Biden spends money like a drunken sailor.
