Is there a country that we don't subsidize?

I think I know why these other countries don't like Trump. They're afraid of becoming a third world country when DJT cuts off the money. And they might be right.

Which countries would collapse without our money?

Mexico?
Canada?
Venezuela?
Greece?
Iran?
Israel?
Pakistan?

I might be easier to list the ones that wouldn't collapse...

China
Japan
India
Russia
North Korea

That's all I can think of.

Yes. No doubt in mind the rest of the world, with some exceptions, have nothing to back their central bank’s fiat currency except for the billions upon billions of dollars that we provide and said central banks horde.

It would appear so.

Yes, that’s why all the EU/NATO countries are treating Trump’s return like a five alarm emergency. We’ve provided for their defense and subsidized their industry ever since the end of WWII. The gravy train is coming to an end, and they know it. Even if Trump can’t completely cut them off, they know enough people are pissed here in the states, and that number is growing. The countries the media/Democrats like to refer to as our “allies” are in fact parasites leeching off of what our ancestors built. It’s time for them to grow up and handle their own continent for a change. We’ve got enough to deal with here.

Roger says as a fiscal conservative we should continue giving away hundreds of billions to 3rd world countries.

thats literally the point of soft power. it also saves us money, extraordinary leverage over the globe, projects our power economically, culturally and is the reason we have US bases everywhere.

of course only russia and china dont like that.

Don't get confused, the funding was to keep the world under our boot, to destroy them with cultural warfare and to buy the compliance of their local governments.

Yes, and we don't seem to getting any ROI anymore. I'm sure the uniparty and globalists have lined their pockets well. The American taxpayer...not so much.

Yes

Why?

Because a certain percentage of it always comes back to the corruption on our side. It’s the easiest way to steal tax payer dollars.

This is a really simplistic way of looking at this. Flip it around if these countries "collapse" as you say how bad is that for American economy? Could be significant if we lost that many buyers of our goods.

I don't have a problem with sending money to other countries. Big but, we can't do it when we're carrying debt. We can't do it when we have average Americans struggling day to day. We can't do it when we have starving and homeless people in this country, especially veterans. We can not send money to these countries the way we have been, because honestly, they aren't getting half of it, it's being stolen. Lastly, the country, as a whole needs to get something in return for any money donated to other countries.

Yes, so long as they have joined the USA in the drive to establish Globo Homo Queer Culture throughout the Earth, the USA has gladly funded them.

Aren't you proud of your country now that we have finally started to stop this evil?

Really galls me to think about how much all of those socialist leaning countries have lectured us over the years on how we should do things.

Why do you think your taxes are so high?

Fed tax funds the world. State tax funds Americans
