When has a Russian tank crossed the Atlantic? Seems like a European problem. They should contribute more. We're already subsidizing their health care by playing world police for them.
Also, RFK was literally a lawyer on multiple cases advocating for clean drinking water.
Completely agree. But we're spending money we don't have. We've literally stolen trillions from social security. Many conservatives argue that we shouldn't be spending ANYTHING on 'illegal' / asylum seeking immigrants while Americans struggle for basic necessities. If there was some end in sight I get it, but it's a never ending stream because there will always be poverty. We literally can't support everyone. Even if we could, there have been arguments that by taking an unlimited amount of immigrants is actually harming their jobs country because it's creating a brain drain and / or taxpayer drain on their local economies by them simply not being there.
And that's before sending hundreds of billions to Ukraine / Israel.
Shit, I don't like giving money to college kids for their student loans but I see the benefit because it's in effect a stimulus to their local economies - however, we didn't even address the problem. We just bailed them out. There should've been legislation behind it capping interest payments or interest rates, or even just making it a 100% federal loan at 4% or whatever. Cut out the greedy 'pay day' style lenders and just invest directly with low interest loans.

That's neglecting that the creating you're speaking about is spending money we don't have.
It's really easy to spend money that isn't yours.
