Worried your coke supplies are going to get cut off?Thanks Tink for the tip off on Donald Trumps speech at the World Drug Forum.
Certainly confirmed the calibre of the man. /
Military budget is going up because of china.That's not why.
He's the one that's making it all that worst on his own (poor) people.
Assuming for a second that Trump's policies on NATO saves money. Did he passed the savings on to poor Americans? No.
In his first year, Trump raised the official military budget by some $70B. In this second year, raised it another $40B+ to some $720B a year. And if all military-related expenses, such as Veteran Affairs, the dept. of Energy nuke maintenance etc... it's about $1Trillion a year.
Then there's the tax cuts. $1.5Trillion top line. Recently floating the redefinition of "capital gain"... taking into account inflation... that's estimated to cost the Treasury about $500B over a decade. There's another planned "tax reform" by this November.
If I remember right, he also repealed the "Death Tax". So now, all the trust fund kids whose parents estate divvied up among the lucky sperms are no longer taxable. It used to only taxed when the inheritance, after all expenses, is some $8M each sibling. But taxing it would "impede competition" and incentives to work or some bs.
Anyway, so $2Trillion in tax cuts he just gave to the top 1%.
Is he as equally generous towards the other 90%?
Fark no.
Cutting funding to public schools. Most schools in poorer cities now cannot have class when it's too cold, or too hot. Their A/C and heating system no longer work. There's mould everywhere, literally lead-poisoned tap water... teachers at public schools literally have to pack lunch for some of their students because they know the kids don't get enough to eat at home.
But Trump cut any subsidy or lunch programme to them.
I mean, who's going to pay for that right? Where's the money coming from? He just gave $2T away, bloated the military budget... so belts got to be tightened.
-----------
With NATO...
Trump's forcing the same shite on European he's forcing on his own people. Lucky the EU just quietly nod and pretend to agree with what their master tells them, else they'll have to double spending on their military.
Where will the money come from? It'll have to be cut from other (social, welfare) services. Who will suffer?
And why the increased on NATO? Russia?
Compare the military spending, GDP of Russia with those of Europe. It's like day and night.

China...
if the US doesn't want a trade deficit, then stop buying Chinese made crap. Most of those are owned or benefiting major American corporations anyway. i.e. Wal-Mart, Apple, Amazon etc.
So the trade war is just another attempt to tax the majority of American consumers. i.e. the poor and working class Americans who buy Chinese-made stuff. Rich ones won't be caught dead wearing anything from the Wal-Marts.
Trump is just talking bs. It is also an attempt to get the Chinese to open up their financial institution. i.e. he's taking care of Wall St... and just like other presidents... the majority of the population are paying the price.
Military budget is going up because of china.
Trump tariffs are to get companies to shift out of china- to either the US or US friendly sht hole. Moves the US away from enriching a potential enemy.
Trump has got the US working again. Was it best employment rate in 50 years or something?
All this crap about Obama is just that. Gop tore down his reforms and never looked back.
Its a cold war right now. We are fighting them in numerous countries already.Is the US going to have a shoot out with China? Or China going to send its carriers to Hawaii and lopped a few?
Both countries have nukes. Going at each other directly will end life on earth.
So China, Russia, Terrorism, Communism, hippies... all just pre-text to subsidise the military industrial complex. That and taking on weak poor, unarmed countries with loads of natural resources.
Its a cold war right now. We are fighting them in numerous countries already.
All out war is always a possibility.
Russia recently flew bombers down the uk coastline. They have been doing numerous stupid military stunts that ended in close calls.
Their recent spyplane down in Syria was a bit of a laugh. They tried to blame Israel but thats not what the evidence showed. One mistake and the proxy wars escalate.
China is very aggressive in the south china seas and only a matter of time before they take full control.
They are also trying to get their station up in the antarctic so they don't have to use the us gps tracking. China is positioning strongly.
Do you take the Chinese for granted. They pretty much can shut down any dissenters life down with their national points system in their country. They walk all over human rights, other countries rights, environment, are building a giant war machine. They are a massive threat right now.
Trump investing is needed as the US is getting behind. They are under constant cyber attack and have invested in this area. They are behind on the sonic delivery of bombs and getting behind on aircraft capabilites. I'd question if Russia and its robotic weapons system is pulling ahead.
Mo back with a vengeance. Been boning up on Fox News.
Welcome back Mo!

Where ever someone posts progressive dribble, I'll be there....Should always be careful what you asked for, Batman.
Mr Trump, who begins his political rallies with boasts about his economic record, used the same rhetoric before the crowd of world leaders and diplomats, telling them he had accomplished more than almost any previous US president.
"In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country," he said.
The remark led to some murmuring and laughter in the crowd, taking the president slightly aback. "So true," he said, looking directly into the audience.
"I didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay," he said, which was followed by more laughter and applause.
(he's got to remember to differentiate between the brainwashed and an independent audience).

I think he was expecting a sneer of loathing rejection from the crowd, but instead he rec'd a compliment...no democrats (i.e. reporters) in audience?

For his part, Mr. Trump said the laughter didn't bother him and that the speech "went very well."
"It was great," Mr. Trump said. "That was meant to get some laughter. It was great."
