Meanwhile El Taco be saying he wants to kill Medicare and daycare to pay for more bombs to drop on Iran.
Self awareness is not a feature of these idiots.
I want to coldcock that guy so hard
Did he actually say this?
They say these things on purpose as a fuck you.
But why spend money on people when you can make arms companies stock go up
literally a few hours apart from Trumps speech where he says "we can't give heathcare to everyone. there is no money" but they got money for a war no one wants
If Americans could read they’d be very upset.
At least they are spending it on defense instead of invading countries on the other side of globe.
Every US/Israeli accusation is a confession has to be a law of physics at this point.
Yes, just imagine.🙄
Almost there...
You don't say...
They're shortcircuiting lol
Was it r/selfawarewolves or "so close" or something like that?
Do US next.
yeah, imagine if spending people's money on people was possible
This can't be for real...
Nah, we are going to spend the money hurting people instead.
Because humans are an always evil race.
Fuck you Gussano scum.
The remarks made by the MAGA clowns should be the main headlines. Sadly, most Americans somehow absorb this BS and allow the country to fall apart. AmeriKa Last!
How the hell would he know?
Ron Paul was right all along, I blame fiat currencies, if they had to actually raise taxes to fund their military adventurism instead of just debasing paychecks then voters would kick their ass to the curb.
We also wonder why houses can be 10x income now gatekept by 30 year mortgages, its because its underwritten by the money printer.
Dudes really said this and then turned around and asked for 1.5tn for the military.
They know. They don’t care
That is probably the most bruh bruh to ever bruh.
So close, senator, so close!
I got curious what Iran's national budget actually looks like and theres not much good information there's a Wikipedia article with no hard numbers.
The cited sources also seem to lack hard numbers. Here's one of them. As a funny aside half of them are apparently dated by an Islamic calendar, so these budgets are from the year 1402. Iran definitely acts like it's still the year 1402.
I didnt bother trying to get a translation of the articles cited since, again, they seem to discuss relative changes but no hard numbers. However, I think this picture gives us an idea what is going on.
We know from the Wikipedia article they raised the retirement age by 10 years, increased government and military pay, instated road tolls, and slashed the road budget at the same time. They raised their military budget by the equivalent of $5B USD (against a GDP of $375B) while raising electricity, natural gas, and water prices by 35% to pay for it.
To do a last bit of comparative math, the USA's total military budget is about 3.33% of GDP, while Iran's 2025 budget raised military spending by about 1.3% of GDP from whatever it was before. And again no hard numbers, but Iran's direct government and military spending is very large, apparently it's a driver of inflation.
So, actually, I think this take is basically correct.
