But they have enough to increase the budget for things like the military but not for research that keeps people alive. Sounds like to me they're taking money away from things that help people to use against people.

This is all part of the conditioning rollout. After they say: "We do not have unlimited money in the United States", the logical response is: "Then why give trillions of dollars in tax cuts to billionaires?" After that, they can say what they've always wanted to say: "That's their money".

They are part of a healthcare system system that covers all federal employees and retirees. It’s doubtful any change would affect them, but it certainly would affect those employees and retirees, they would ensure that.

The Clint Initiative Podcast @theclintpodcast.bsky.social

I contend that with three nuclear submarines the number of Aircraft carriers needed should be lower.

The U.S. Navy operates three classes of nuclear-powered submarines: Ohio-class (both ballistic missile and guided missile variants), Los Angeles- class, and Virginia-class. The Ohio-class is the largest, with some serving as ballistic missile submarines and others converted to guided missile submarines. The Los Angeles-class is older and being replaced by the Virginia-class, which are also nuclear-powered attack submarines with cruise missile capabilities.

CORRECTION: 64 Submarines!

The U.S. Navy operates a total of 64 nuclear submarines. These are categorized as 14 ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs), 4 guided missile submarines (SSGNs), and 50 attack submarines (SSNs). The SSGNs are technically part of the SSBN class but have been converted to carry cruise missiles.

We don’t need them. We have them. Just in case. It’s not like we can put them out for pickup by the garbage man. It’s an aging arsenal. Who knows if many of them are still functioning. Random question, out of 5200, how many of them are potentially dud? Inquiring minds.

I’m sure we would have been fine with about 520 instead of 5200. Not only did it cost a fortune to make 5200 but the maintenance on that many has to be astronomical.

We need to STOP calling it “Alligator Alcatraz”. Alcatraz is much more associated with a fun little tourist attraction. Start calling it “Alligator Auschwitz”, to remind people constantly of the horrors that are happening there! PASS IT ON!

The U.S. is a sovereign issuer of currency which means we can print as much money as we want. Yes, inflation, so that's why you use the money to invest in people and society for things like healthcare, housing, and education, and you tax the shit out of billionaires. It becomes a virtuous cycle.

In point of fact yes, the United States does have unlimited money because the United States manufactures the money. The essential problem is that we don't tax the high income earners at anywhere near the rate that we do others. Rolling back the Reagan tax cut would fix it.

Every dollar spent on SNAP generates $1.79 in economic activity, because it's being spent on people who put it right back into the economy. It's the most economically productive thing any tax dollar can go towards. If you cared about the economy you'd allocate as much towards SNAP as you could.

When invested in complex financial instruments that have no basis in real productivity, a +30% annual return is considered amazing. If you could be assured of a consistent +79% annual ROI, you would be insane not to take it. But those profits go to the poor so the rich won't allow it.
