Americans have Ben getting ripped off for too long.

1) American taxpayers fund our military, and everyone else in the world depends on us to protect them and they take the money they should be spending to develop their own military and spend it on social entitlement to get left-wing politicians elected. No more! You contribute 5%-10% or we don’t protect you anymore. Pay for it by citing unemployment from 5 years to one, lowering the minimum wage from $25 to $15, etc. these European countries need to cut their budgets.

2) the USA pays the highest cost for drugs in the world because other nations refuse to. I have said this for 20 years. The ridiculously harsh price controls in other countries mean that we have to shield an unreasonable amount of the burden for funding, drug development and drug companies. Tell Europe that, if they want aces to our pharmaceuticals, they need to start paying a fair price or they will be pulled from the market.

Let’s see their politicians stare that down.

I really hope this is not just bluster and Trump actually does something about it. He already did some #1 in his first term.

Here's the alternative that some posters willingly vote for bc of their TDS.

 
They could have been hacked by the Chinese, so I won’t pass blame until I have the facts.

China has been hacking our critical infrastructure in order to cause chaos if we oppose their illegal invasion of Taiwan.
That's a legit excuse for you? This the US.

Wow, that’s completely detached from reality. There is almost nothing in your post that is based upon a shred of truth or logic.

Well isn’t it their job to make sure that they don’t get hacked?
I mean, kind of. Cyber security is complicated. Our own state dept. has been hacked so, who is to blame for that?

Salt Typhoon is the most sophisticated hacking operation ever, by most accounts.

It’s like I always say, if you don’t like Democrats, there are plenty of legit reason to list. But saying they may have been hacked is not one of them. Let’s see the facts for this and then pass judgment.

I have no idea what this means. I simply said I want the facts to come out for forming an opinion. Is that objectionable to someone?
You’re excusing their incompetence on possible Chinese hacking. It’s typical excuse making, whether it be *climate change* or *Russia* or *disinformation* or *muh Trump.* It’s essentially the freaking 911 system of our largest and most important state. It should be impenetrable. So, either these misfits are dumbasses for allowing the system to be hacked or they dumbasses who are way out over their skis and have no biz being in charge.

"and everyone else in the world depends on us to protect them".

USA is only getting ripped off if these countries forced us to defend them. Did they do that or did we voluntarily do it?

Is this a serious question? If so, it reflects an incredibly ignorant understanding of international diplomacy and world events since the 50's and is historically illiterate.

It is shockingly uninformed.

Well no one can force you to protect them. That doesn’t make sense.

Inform us.
 
Inform us.
Sir, you were the one making an outlandish, historically-illiterate point.

How about you try and explain the logic behind your post? It failed on every level to stand up to even middle-school levels of logic regarding foreign policy and how alliances work and completely ignores NATO member defense spending requirements, at a minimum.
