Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.

I see many worry if democracy over in the US? It surely feels like it

The US needs to out innovate instead of blocking competitors. The reality is everything we have been taught about other countries has been very biased.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Is anyone in red book? Learning so much about their culture and how their government works for the people. Very eye opening, this country has been spoon fed to only care about self and not for anyone else.

The trade wars during the Trump administration caused U.S. producers $27 billion in losses due to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. To offset these losses, the Trump administration provided substantial aid packages to farmers, including a $12 billion aid package in 2018. Interesting

Throwing this out there for clarification, does out agriculture receive subsidies from the government, about 15
Billion? Would the tax cuts from 2017 affect pricing?

Thank the good lord for @mcuban.bsky.social
Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Animal killer Kristi Noem has been confirmed as Sec of Homeland Security.

Remember, not only did she shoot a family dog in its face, she included the story in her book. I don't know if Trump could have found someone less humane for the job.
