“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
The South Park parody was too funny. The celebs need to shut up in my opinion. Since when and why does anyone place importance on them, just because acting made them famous or singing, or comedy. Silly.
The whole world is in debt to each other. US national debt is roughly equal to the total of what other countries owe us. It's the same all over the world.
All this Social Welfare to the 0.1 % is hugely expensive: some 40 Trillion Dollars have been 'redistributed' this way, since Ronnie Raygun, mainly in the form of tax breaks.
Add to this an astronomical military budget that dwarfs that of its direct competitors:
"In May 2021, the President's defense budget request for fiscal year 2022 (FY2022) is $715 billion, up $10 billion, from FY2021's $705 billion.[1] The total FY2022 defense budget request, including the Department of Energy, is $753 billion, up $12 billion from FY2021's budget request."
Very funny, that South Park. I think my fave is when the Homeless took over...
