Good news for Americans: Trump is giving $600 rebate to everybody
To each according to his ability. I do not think it is the proportions that are the problem, but rather the mAcroscopic overall budget expenditure. Due to money squandered left and right. There is a need to cut the coat according to the cloth available. That way the wealthy can stay wealthy and the poor can be eased out of poverty. Where governments create conflict, both global and local, they do so because they are prodded into it by big rentier-capitalist interests. The country, and everyone else, including the relatively well off, suffer. Overall returns on investment in the US 'defense' [armaments] sector are said to have almost equalled 1,000% over the course of the Afghan War. Did the expenditure of bombs, projectiles, ammunition, and all the rest add to the wealth of the United States and its people? No, of course not. It was a redistribution of wealth from working people of all categories to big-time manipulative speculators. A consortium of loose, informal pressure-groups of overlapping interests, often referred to as the Deep State. Statistics showing the increase in wealth of the richest citizens following each successive crisis is quite convincing proof of this phenomenon. Footnote: When a government creates funny-money out of thin air because its income is insufficient to meet its expenditure, the population may be made to pay in two inter-related ways: 1. A tax called "inflation". This is not a revaluation of goods and services but rather a devaluation of the currency, due to an excess of supply. 2. A debt whose repayment is kicked down the road, perhaps to be met by a future generation. This can be avoided if inflation is high enough that debts can be repaid in a much devalued currency, in effect legally defrauding the creditors. A default in all but name. -

Thai - Cambodia Conflict Ceasefire Fails to Reassure Foreign Tourists Amid Thai Border Violence
Obviously both nations do not have the ability to back away from military confrontations. Perhaps Thailand and Cambodia can make a joint request for a UN Peacekeeping force to occupy the alleged border areas until civilized behavior by both country's Governments can discuss resolutions. Thailand has been a significant contributor to UN peacekeeping operations, having deployed over 20,000 personnel to more than 20 missions since 1950. -
