Topic	Trump accuses Jewish Americans of dual loyalty in unhinged comments.
darkknight109 09/23/23 11:02:27 AM #18:	Ozmose posted... Food prices more than doubled. No, they didn't. Ozmose posted... Gas prices more than doubled. No, they didn't. Ozmose posted... Strategic oil reserves drained. Up there you were complaining about higher gas prices. You drain strategic oil reserves to help increase supply and, therefore, keep prices down. So are you in favour of lower gas prices or no? Pick a lane. Ozmose posted... Consumer debt hitting all time highs. Not Biden's fault. Ozmose posted... National debt at 33 trillion and growing. The single largest increase ever to the US national debt was fiscal 2020, where the debt grew by $4 trillion. Notably, that was under Trump. Also notable: Trump's tax cuts have spiked the deficit (every single year since those tax cuts were passed has seen deficits of >$1 trillion), so if you have a problem with US debt levels, maybe aim your criticism there. Ozmose posted... 113 billion taxpayer dollars sent to fund a foreign war with no end in sight. This accounts for ~6% of the US military's budget, or about 0.25% of the GDP, and has mostly consisted of shipping out items that would otherwise be sitting in storage doing nothing except accruing maintenance costs. In return, one of the US's two biggest geopolitical foes is getting their assholes turned inside out, with their army being ground down to sawdust, all without any US military personnel putting their lives in danger. Even ignoring the moral imperative of helping a democracy under threat of tyranny, the strategic aims of thwarting Russia, strengthening NATO, and warding off China, or the intelligence benefits of evaluating military tech and tactics against a reasonably well-equipped enemy military (first time American equipment has been used against such a foe in a non-insurgency conflict since the end of WW2), a purely transactional view of the conflict shows it is a massive net-positive for the West in general and the US in particular. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:976255724] in Trump accu...
