Mr. Cuomo, Here is why America is great

You want the US to go into a state of massive government and industrial war spending… for what reason again?

I mean they did just pass a $717 billion defense package.

What more do you want ?

We helped quicken the end of WW2 for sure, but the Soviet Union is the country that broke Germany’s back and won the war in Europe.

“The Trump administration is considering taking back more than $3 billion in foreign aid that Congress already approved, in a move that senators from both parties are calling questionably legal and promising to resist.

The Office of Management and Budget instructed the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development earlier this month to provide a balance sheet of foreign aid projects that have not yet been funded. Unless Congress intervenes, the money may be returned to the U.S. Treasury at the end of fiscal year on Sept. 30.

A scramble is on to allocate the money before the administration announces the expected change, which would freeze the billions of dollars left.

In his previous two budgets, President Trump proposed steep cuts to foreign aid, but Congress restored them. Lawmakers from both parties view the last-minute move as a backdoor attempt to get the cuts, despite their objections, before they can do anything about them.”

Well there goes that talking point.

So your concept of “greatness” is measured by military might? Wow. That’s one ■■■■■■ up concept of greatness. I’ll stick to my sense of greatness defined by freedom, compassion, opportunity, ingenuity and all that touchy feely bleeding heart crap.

How is it now? Well, Trump wants to cut foreign aid. Now this creates a vacuum for China and others to move into, diminishing America on the global stage.

But hey, some trailer park trash Turmpkins will be happy.

I think it’s become painfully apparent that Trumpists are straight up isolationists at this point. And in this day and age of a shrinking planet and global economy they’ll do it willingly even at our own peril. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a population of people more afraid of the 21st century.

What a stupid ■■■■■■■ metric you have proposed. It’s the 21st century, try to catch up.

He’s got to pay for that damned parade somehow

I said any number, not any, while Mexico may technically be a developed county, it has other problems that make it less desirable than the US, Germany, France, Canada etc.

Sure. So the next time ISIS is putting innocent people in cages and setting them on fire, we’ll send in the Denmark Marines. Wasn’t it last weekend where 100 cars were set on fire in Sweden? The same Sweden than is experiencing a summer of rape? It has gotten so bad that they have had to cancel concerts. Did Australia develop the medicine that now keeps HIV patients alive? Probably not. How many of those countries have banned gay marriage? What about Japan? What about diversity? Some of those countries have little if any.

I was in Greece two years ago. I rented three cars. The first car showed up late, the car was a few years old, dirty and with half a tank of gas. The second experience was much like the first. The third was totally different. She is waiting for me in her smart Enterprise uniform with a spotless new car. Clean as a whistle, gas tank topped off. Ain’t America great! :us:

BTW. Did you know that you did not use and objective source? Their job is to convince you that Ameirca is evil and must become socialist.

This sign from an obvious Trumpist moron should warm @altair1013 cockles

Greece isn’t on the list I posted.

You asked who I believe is greater than the US. I gave you my list and data to back that up.

If you don’t like it - tough ■■■■■

Error Will Robinson. This was not a Trump thread. Everything that I mentioned happened before Trump. Try again.:hugs:

I definitely don’t disagree with you. Our job in PR was piss poor.

So can you tell me the time when America stopped being great and what your lord and master, Dip ■■■■ Donnie, has done to “restore America’s greatness”?

You know who did more to help PR than the Federal govt? The Cuomo administration.

Even though my H isn’t with NYSDHS anymore he has been and still is involved in the Puerto Rican response due to his expertise during Sandy, Irene and Lee. He also assisted PR with their request to Congress for their aid package.

And I gave you data that didn’t back it up. The contributions and sacrifices that these countries have made are close to zero. Many of these counties have been rescued from tyranny by us. Multiple times. They are going along for the ride while we do all of the heavy lifting. Was it Norway who created the world’s best electric car? How about Spain? How is that Spanish iPhone working out for you amigo?

Wow! Well…there goes that.
I don’t think this administration understand all the reasons why we give aid all over the world. All that leverage we have is going out the window and I bet coin, China is going to be right there to pick up the pieces. We’re already slowly losing Africa, a place where most of the worlds resources is located.
45 and his supporters are definitely one dimensional in their thinking or lack there of.

and because our constitution is the height of the enlightenment. …
