Every single one of you is paying 30% to 50% more to live, and you know it. And the aid you need to cope with inflation? Biden used it to fund another country’s war instead.
They said that when our country got a whole generation of young men killed in Vietnam and wasted over a trillion dollars. They said it when we treated Saddam Hussein the same way what’s-his-name is Ukraine is being treated now back in 1983, funding his war against Iran and giving him an arsenal, before we went to war against him. Twice. People still pretend that our attempt at maintaining a permanent war in Afghanistan was magically a good thing, even though we wasted several trillion dollars and ultimately learned it was completely unsustainable.
Canada has universal health care and you know how much they spend on war?
23 billion a year.
Stop repeating slogans that make absolutely no sense given our military history since WW2, and please also stop pretending that neglecting our people to blow up other countries is virtuous.
Vietnam is the reason we support with money and not bodies…
Can’t really argue that when you look at our health care system. We’re definitely supporting them with bodies, it’s just bodies here dying for lack of health care. Most countries, when looking at the question of war spending versus health care, decide to spend their money on health care instead.
Dunno why you’re all downvoting.

Because “funding other people’s wars” is better than waiting a couple years till it’s our war too…
Did you forget about WW2?
Yeah, that’s what people say every time.

Why are you talking about Vietnam?

We should do the same.
