Utopia Talk / Politics / POTUS budget: 40% increase mil. spending

Rugian rank	Fri Apr 03 17:02:56 With the United States at war with Iran and embroiled in conflicts around the world, the White House said on Friday that it would ask Congress to approve about $1.5 trillion for defense in the 2027 fiscal year. If enacted, that amount would set military spending at its highest level in modern history. The request, which arrived on Friday as part of President Trump’s new budget, would amount to a roughly 40 percent bump from what the United States spent on the Pentagon this fiscal year. The administration said it would couple the proposed increase with a call for $73 billion in cuts across domestic agencies, including the elimination of some climate, housing and education programs. In the days before releasing the initial details of his plan, the president and his aides framed the proposed increase for defense in urgent terms, citing a need to restock munitions and other supplies as the war with Iran continues. At one point, Mr. Trump indicated at a private lunch that military spending needed to be a national priority, even at the expense of federal safety-net programs and other government aid, though his budget is not expected to address Medicare and Medicaid. “It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all of these individual things,” he said. “They can do it on a state basis.” He added that the focus had to be “military protection.” https://ww...hite-house-defense-budget.html

Habebe rank	Fri Apr 03 18:49:53 Yes the "Anti war" potus I mean now that we are in it, we may as well liberate Hormuz so as bot to leave the Iranians with leverage...but im not sure thats feasible.
tumbleweed rank	Fri Apr 03 19:48:24 "The administration said it would couple the proposed increase with a call for $73 billion in cuts across domestic agencies, including the elimination of some climate, housing and education programs" yeah, that balances... & who needs those things more than bombs i assume 'climate' refers to more assault on solar & wind energy... we must stay entirely on gas/oil/coal!
Average Ameriacn rank	Fri Apr 03 19:55:16 " including the elimination of some climate, housing and education programs." Climate change is a scam! Housing is cheap if you use wood! Homeschooling and AI can replace ALL education!

Sam Adams rank	Fri Apr 03 21:17:36 ^mistakes the word education for housing. I think there's a medicine that will help you with your mental issues and allow you to function again and you know, read.
williamthebastard rank	Fri Apr 03 21:23:10 ^Pretends that the money isnt also being taken from education, and also blames 3-year-old kids for being too stupid to choose to be born to rich parents. Because his selfishness reaches pathological levels and the suffering of american kids randomly born into bad circustances means absolutely zero to this patriot and his need to maintain his brain-dead fantasy world. "luk at me! i wos to smart to chos to be born to por parints! if other kids is to dum to chos ritch parints its ther fawlt!"
Sam Adams rank	Fri Apr 03 21:36:22 Sam talks about housing. Wtb ADD spazzes to a completely different subject. Lol take your meds.
williamthebastard rank	Fri Apr 03 22:03:22 ^ sam talks about himself in the 3rd person and about not giving a shit about whether american kids grow up in mold-infested, drug-ridden housing because exactly like Trump, the only thing that matters in this world is him. War veterans and kids growing up in dumps have only their low IQ to blame. But its all good, because they end up in the pedophile movies he calls free speech.
Habebe rank	Fri Apr 03 22:16:49 Housing is out of control, in Philadelphia the majority of ppl pay 50%+ of their income to housing. It's literally my job to explain this to people daily. Wahes peaked in 1973 and boomers bennefitted with home values exploding, but now alot of ppl can't afford to buy a home and can barely afford rent. It's literally a housing crisis.
Habebe rank	Fri Apr 03 22:18:03 Minimum wage should be tied to productivity gains.
Habebe rank	Fri Apr 03 22:20:20 From roughly 1948-1973, U.S. minimum wage tracked fairly closely with productivity growth. Since then, they've diverged sharply — productivity has roughly doubled while inflation-adjusted minimum wage has actually fallen. If minimum wage had kept pace with productivity, it would be around $21-26/hour today depending on the metric.
williamthebastard rank	Fri Apr 03 22:22:26 Heres where pedo-csam pretends that bad housing conditions do not become bad neighborhoods, places his parents wouldnt have let him set a foot in. Because all these self-aggrandizing snobs who spit on people less fortunate are all actually perfectly aware of the social effects of bad neighborhoods. They just pretend that the bad influences they're terrified of exposing their kids to dont exist when it happens to someone elses kids. Its just bad genes when it happens to someone elses kids. They freak out if they hear their kids have friends in bad neighborhoods - because suddenly bad influences do exist - but only for them.
