It has been independently assessed that the Biden/harris administration was the biggest wasters in history, blowing $1 trillion on improper payments alone while in office. Without all that waste, budget cuts may not have been necessary.
How can we afford to increase defence spending when we have to pay tarrifs on exports to USA.
Yes, yes, I hear they're eating the cats and dogs
Quite so. Look, a General supporting military actions and military spending? Truly astonishing.
Head of NATO Mark Rutte is a former Prime Minister of the Netherlands. Not a general.
Ok,thank you. Correction:
I agree with the sentiment here, it is crazy. The saddest thing about this it is the poorer countries say like Iran and North Korea who are spending up big on arms while many of their people suffer. It is tragic. You could even say that China or more accurately the CCP are disproportionately investing in arms at the expense of their people.Unfortunately we still live in a world where the biggest most powerful bully wins… I see one way or another we will be forced to spend more on arms….
Fair again but for me I always want all elected leaders to act in a way that many of us can not.
Without that military alliance where do you think Ukraine would be right now?

Yeah but they had to pay their way out of covid, that’s the kicker
Seems appropriate and reasonable. You can’t have one or two biased, politically appointed judges exercising more power than a democratically elected President implementing the agenda he/she was elected on.Trumpy scores a win (of sorts) against the lower federal courts.
In short:
Donald Trump has declared a victory over "radical left judges" after the US Supreme Court issued a ruling curtailing the powers of lower courts.
The 6-3 ruling concluded that lower federal courts do not have the power to impose nationwide bans on Mr Trump's orders.
What's next?
Some specific cases have been sent back to lower courts to be reconsidered. Mr Trump's controversial order to remove birthright citizenship remains on hold for at least 30 days.
'Giant win' for Trump after top court limits judges' power to block his orders
Donald Trump is celebrating what he calls a "giant win" after the US Supreme Court limited the power of federal judges to block the president's executive orders.
Not sure covid had anything to do with $1 trillion in improper payments. The bottom line is that everyone recognises debt has been growing exponentially for decades, regardless of who was in power, and we are rapidly reaching the point where hard decisions need to be made. You can argue the merits of individual actions, but at least the Trump administration has recognised the problem and is taking steps to address.
There are many rightful critiques of the Australian system but i think we are all thankful that our judicary is not driven by party politics
Agree, nothing wrong with our system, just relies on a strong opposition that offers a valid alternative to maintain balance. We generally get that balance right over time I think (“progress” vs “conservatism”). The US is obviously complicated by the fact it is still more an amalgamation of strong, somewhat independent States, overlaid with a quasi republic/democracy at the federal level.

Uhhhhhhh thanks Woodside, clicked on the link, funny by the way 🤣, however, I have a bone to pick with you because the link led me to Facebook, which led me to an article about the new Bears board in WA which then somehow led to a video of a breast feeding mother.511K views · 18K reactions | Seinfeld Shitposting on Reels
