That's impossible to answer, but it's still insignificant to the discussion of our spending problem.

A person calling Dave Ramey who is $2M in debt isn't going to be productive asking if he should pick up a penny off the ground as a method of combating his debt. Would it TECHNICALLY help? Sure. I mean, what's the appropriate amount of potential revenue to waste in that scenario?


This kind of thinking is completely broken. You sound like Nancy Pelosi actually. A bleeding vagina willing to do anything but help the people of this country in preference to some random nation that launders money for the current admin.

If it's "insignificant to our spending problem" you clearly think it's acceptable.

No that's not logical. It's -EV to discuss in the big picture.

In no way does that imply it's acceptable. That's your logical issue/bad interpretation.

appropriations bills and CRs are much more similar than either are to a full budget without extraneous spending options.

I remember an idiot telling me that the money New Orleans spent was wise policy at the time.

I said that they should use that money to mitigate flooding concerns.

New Orleans doesn’t have those statues…now, about that flooding.

This is a similar scenario to the Federal government wasting money on virtue signaling.

There is no logical defense of these stupid policy decisions.

What's truly intersting is, by your own "logic" our Congress cares so little for homeland security they spend an "insignificant" amount on it.

Yet... oddly Mitch McConnell calls Ukraine aid one the most important legislative victories of his career. LINK . Odd innnit?

The quote below is from the right wing rag Time Magazine

quote:

Bankman-Fried contributed more than $70 million to election campaigns in less than 18 months, placing him among the nation’s top political donors. He personally gave at least $40 million to politicians and political action committees ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, mostly to Democrats and liberal-leaning groups, making him the second overall top donor to Democrats, only behind George Soros, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Where was Ukraine in that quote?

For reference, this is what led to the FTX question

You said Clacker was being partisan and that the next partisan talking point was going to be FTX was also funneling/laundering money to the Democrats. GTFO with your shite. You’re nothing but a troll. I open debate with open and honest people about politics. You guys all have the talking points down but no facts.

Yet, because of the hundreds of billions pissed away in Ukraine and coddling illegals (or "TRS"), there is almost NOTHING available from the feds for this.
