The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Still posting whatever your political masters tell you to without verification. Still willing to look like a dumbass fool because you are told to.

Do better.

Please elaborate where the Clintons or Obama accepted foreign money while in office?


Haha, still living rent free in your head, I see.
I am very much now what is completely out of fashion, a rational centrist. I detest Trump, but not all right wing ideas like bringing down the national debt, cutting the welfare state that is becoming unaffordable, and being fiscally responsible. None of which Trump is doing, which is why I don't like him.
Nobody likes to take bitter medicine, and yet that is what US currently needs, unfortunately. Everything needs to be cut, defense, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, especially. The road to hell, and bankruptcy, is paved with good intentions.
The federal government used to be 20% of the budget, now it's 26% with a 6% deficit. That is unsustainable without hyperinflation. I don't want to live in poverty because some head in the clouds right wing and left wing nutjobs captured the government.
