MTG has a special kind of intelligence whereupon she's destined to achieve the rank of Weight Guesser Trainee in a traveling Southern carnival post office.

Tilt O'Whirl Operator is a possibility in the long run, but only if she applies herself.

Boebert has the lead for the tilt O'Whirl. She's proven she can work knobs in public

I thought the same thing seeing that graph. Unemployment benefits?

I thought unemployment was generally state benefits. Even if they were for federal employees the number is bigger than the defense budget and starting to rival SS. And there's "Health" at $914T and Medicare at $755T. That stuff isn't making sense at all.

No. That's not correct.

Giving Ukraine old weapons does not result in any cash payment or affect our deficit one iota. In fact, EVERYTHING we've sent them thus far technically has not affected our debt position.

Now, when we give them cash or other cash-equivalent aid, that does count against the deficit... probably.

Sooooo if we give them those weapons then we dont have to pay to replace them? Also how are they getting there? Are we just giving them weaponry thats already in Ukraine. Is the Transportation Sec waving his logistical wand and the weapons just appear in Kiev?

Would that somehow change when they were purchased, and how long they've been depreciating on the books?

if we replace them it costs money - not sure what's hard to figure out about that. the longer ago we originally paid for them, the greater the delta in the replacement cost. We'll be borrowing money to replace them.

When you say wand, weapon, and transportation secretary what exactly are you implying?

Zelensky the dictator. Oh BuT uKrAiNe Is A fIgHt FoR dEmOcRaCy. Good old Zelensky is sounding more like Putin and the Fat Azz Loon in NK. But hey it’s so important that we support the war effort in Ukraine. The Biden administration should be prosecuted for treason for this.

Stuff like the M1A1s and I think most of the various IFVs, APCs, etc. that we're giving Ukraine have been mothballed. Sitting around rusting because they've been replaced by newer models - much like your old clothes hanging in the back of your closet. The 155mm cluster munition artillery we're giving similarly sitting gathering dust - all 3+ million rounds of it, as we "don't use" these anymore. Etc.

Yes, transporting them costs $. How much extra who knows, but some of it may already be part of existing Defense Dept. budgets.

Curious... did you support the arms build-up here in the US and all the $ we spent to defeat the USSR during the Cold War?

Lol, $14 dollars low enough for your "substantial" threshold?

lol. like I said. they will own up to the small stuff. what about all those false claims for payments, why is no dollar amount listed for those? Only one is noted as being innocent.

you provided a list of 14 of the 189, and think it proves something.
