The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

USA spends $60 billion a year on helping others JUST from this agency. This while Americans are suffering partially due to BAD CULTURE and partially due to things not their fault. THIS while we always gotta hear about Bully America, Arrogant America, Ugly American.




FRANCE...you know, sophisticated Enlightened SandyLeeLee France, (let's put aside all the colonizing, raping, murdering and even the internal anti muslim discrimination and recent Mali murders)..... spends about $11 billion on their USAID equivalent (I think it's AFD)


Why doesn't France just pick up the extra $ 50 billion? Speaking of which why so they spend so much less then Evil America?


Oh, wait do I hear "cause America's economy is bigger!' - no way. The Hell you say. France has "single payor health care". France has "Family Leave". France has "more holiday time". France has 'higher minimum wages". France has "lesser disparity" between the "CEO" and the "Worker"

France is Club 401K heaven so their economy has just GOTTA be as big as Satan America.

So France, why won't you spend an extra $50 billion a year and annex USAID? Maybe divert funds from the bedwetter security money you have to spend, maybe divert a few bucks from your anti-Muslim efforts. The rest of the money - I dont know, they say your women are sexy, maybe put them to "work" for their country to raise money.

Talk about Rosie The Riveter!
