@LLmoneyman@GunnelsWarren I'm not sure why you keep saying you after I specifically stated that I'm American. Fun fact, who is the only country in NATO that has enacted Article 5? The United States. Why would we have done that if Europe can't fight? Why did we ask them to help with Hormuz with no Navy?
@LLmoneyman@GunnelsWarren Sure, and North America doesn't have an army. However, like North America, the countries that make up Europe have very significant militaries
@LLmoneyman@GunnelsWarren Europe can absolutely defend themselves. Yes, they're heavily taxed. My point was that we would be too if our taxes matched our spending
@LLmoneyman@GunnelsWarren A) I'm American. B) We don't have a 50% rate because we're running $2 trillion deficits instead C) I'd be happy to have a significantly smaller military and replace it with affordable healthcare
@CloneCone84@PeteHowe33@GunnelsWarren When they lose money, which is basically every year, the government makes up the shortfall. What would you call that?
