  spending a billion dollars a day on a war in another country is more of a priority

  This is one of the hallmarks of a falling empire.

  They are investing billions in sponsoring wars without a clear strategy, while towns across the country are becoming ghost towns. And taxpayers can’t access even basic necessities like water!

  Don't even get me started on new construction. Everything is built like garbage.

  The irony is that trillions are being spent on military resources to keep the country safe. And the entire country is falling apart without a single enemy having set foot on American soil.

  As a Dutchman i simply can&apos;t understand all of this. This isn&apos;t something from recent years,but many decades of NO maintenance or upgrades Some of these bridges and other infra have never been maintained from the moment it was build. We pay a crapload of taxes,but things get done and maintained.<br>Maybe start maintaining and upgrading your country that is falling apart instead of wasting $1 billion a day in a useless and needless war

  Spent all taxpayer money on endless wars. None left for infrastructure, health etc.

  It’s particularly striking how &quot;Tom&quot; from Pittsburgh pointed out that the city spent $4 million on &quot;visible&quot; steps but only $500,000 on the actual structural integrity of bridges. It perfectly illustrates the &quot;political optics vs. public safety&quot; crisis.

  The USA is collapsing because someone is taking all the values ​​and progress for them selves and leaving nothing behind. The politicians are helping in the expectation of benefiting from the crumbs from the EPSTEIN class themselves. Everyone else is &quot;cannon fodder&quot;:face-orange-raised-eyebrow:
