    If this is the kind of man that will start "that country" back to road of fiscal sanity so be it. Previous leaders of supposedly higher moral character have failed to fix the problem.

    Do you realize they are source of most of the money to begin with.

    No doubt you belong to the "Loves spending other peoples' money" gang.

    Thailand, also, is a rich country with many wealthy individuals.

    You complain about very callous people posting "smile" emojis, and then wish DT passes away very soon. Such hypocrisy.

    I'm not falling for the BS.

    This is what happens when you delay, delay, delay. This should have started years ago. Too late for slow and thoughtful. They had more than enough time to think this over.

    Notice how no one else wanted to speak and make a fool of themselves?

    What do you mean by equally? https://time.com/6241262/sam-bankman-fried-political-donations/

    Fake news paid for with real dollars is another way to put it.

    While in the Philippines in the early 1980's, one of my relatives was the bag man who actually delivered the bribes to government building inspectors. USAID stopped funding the project when they found out what was going on. This was in the Marcos days.

    Correction: It is Bloomberg Businessweek and not Newsweek. Last year it was changed from being issued weekly to monthly. This is misleading since it is no longer a weekly publication.

    Interesting. This is just the start. Can't wait for more dark secrets to be uncovered.

    I am able to get free articles from Bloomberg from my free newsletter with a code emailed to me. I also have a paid paper subscription to Bloomberg Newsweek.

    What's a million here, a million there?

    Especially when the whole story of how aid money was frittered away on useless projects is exposed to the entire world to see.

    What you say is true. Trump, this time around, will listen more closely to his advisers. He commented during his first term that he didn't need to be briefed. He soon found out there was valuable information he knew nothing about. I am not a MAGA person per se, but feel he is the one to fix some of our most pressing problems, like illegal immigration, a demoralized military and wasteful spending. History will judge his successes and failures.

    Since USAID was established by Congress Trump cannot arbitrary abolish it. What other things he legally can and cannot do regarding the agency, I don't know. We may have to see where courts go with this.

    Quite a few would object. Bombing with direct provocation is a terrible idea. Let Israel take care. They already have justification since the two have been exchanging blows with Israel coming out ahead.

    No only countries, but the enemy from within.

    Guess you missed my point. I said he uses hyperbole to make a point. No doubt about it, Trump is far from being diplomatic, very blunt and abrasive. Unfortunately, sometimes that is what it takes to get results.
  22. Hawaiian
    Like Biden, Trump has his people to clarify things. Not the best scenario, but it is what it is.
  23. Hawaiian
    Yes, a very unorthodox, and unconstitutional was of doing it. Maybe if Congress had done a proper job in tackling the debt problem we wouldn't be where we are today. But, by exposing all the wasteful spending the taxpayers will demand that Congress acts. One way or another something drastic needs to be done before a heart attack occurs.

    The U.S. learned this from you folks across the pond.

    Very good reason to be defensive and conservative with one's investments. Lots of volatility ahead.
