Several major credit rating agencies have downgraded the credit rating of the U.S. federal government because of the mushrooming national debt. The writing is on the wall that the U.S. had better make some very serious attempts at addressing the problem. Spending cuts need to start now and IMO foreign aid is a good place to start because the reality is, it's more palatable than cuts elsewhere.

Where do you think much of that foreign aid money originates from? How much have you contributed, directly or indirectly? Spending other peoples money comes to mind.

Won't know unless you do. I am more familiar with the Rohingyas which centers around religious persecution.

Aligns with I said in a previous post. "If there were no illegals available, then wages would rise..." However, be aware of the poster who dismisses personal experiences and demands statistics to defends one position.

And who did Biden imitate?

Lot of hypocrisy going around.

Quite similar to Biden's stance on immigration and the use of the military at our southern border.

I am not familiar with the issue and the details of his promise to lower food prices. The quickest way I I know to lower food prices is through price controls which eventually lead to shortages. Not a smart move unless to address an extreme national emergency. I don't think that situation exists today.

Show me where I defended Trump's position on lowering food prices. You can't because I didn't.

Don't want to answer the question, just say so. No need to to deflect with ridiculous excuses.

Thanks for answering my question? Rather doubt it he would reply with a sensible or honest answer.

To begin with, why are these countries poor? Corruption, including the diversion of foreign aid is one cause.

How did their mothers contract it?

In return the U.S. get demonized, asking is that all there is. You owe us.

Are you claiming that upholding the law is a moral judgement? No where in my posts have I denied that prices will rise if illegals are deported. However, I have said that is not justification for not deporting them.

Illegals often work for substandard wages. If there were no illegals available, then wages would rise until they became acceptable for Americans to take the "jobs no American wants." Didn't you say criminal is criminal. To say lower prices justifies allowing illegals to remain is criminal. That is exactly what my original example was about, but you called it a red herring. Getting back to basic economics, jobs that are highly risky, like crab harvesting in Alaskan waters, demand very high pay. People are only willing to take this dangerous work if the pay higher than a much safer job.

Sorry if you were misled or distracted. I thought you were better than that.

Because you didn't get the answer you wanted it's considered evasion? You're a joke and not a funny one at that. Even a fifth grader would understand what you obviously don't.

Red herring because you don't like my analogy. I've been in construction for most of my life, starting as a carpenter apprentice, then journeyman, to foreman, to superintendent and as a general contractor. I never asked my workers to do a job I wouldn't do. As a superintendent I asked one carpenter to assist the block mason by mixing his "mud." He told me he doesn't do that kind of work because it was undignified. Guess what? I sent him home and I mixed the mud. One day,after I retired, my son who was working as a carpenter apprentice complained that his boss was always giving him the "dirty" jobs. I told him someday when you're a boss you will appreciate and understand that someone has to do the dirty work. So it's a false premise that illegals are doing jobs that Americans won't do.

Same as with eggs, the laws of supply and demand.

Wow! You sound just like the kind of guy I WOULDN'T want as a neighbor.

Yes, the Chinese excel at sketchy business contracts through debt trap diplomacy.

Maybe that is what you should be doing instead of constantly complaining with your endless tirades. The moaning and groaning is bad for your health.

Statement by made by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, "....ensure the continued delivery of development and humanitarian activities for the most vulnerable communities around the world, whose live and livelihoods depend on this support." He is admitting the U.S. has been a prime contributor to these communities. But yet, many of these countries say the U.S. is not doing enough. They demonize Americans and even send jihadists to terrorize us. I say enough of this helping our enemies.
