    You (USA) are already bankrupt. The US will never be able to pay off its debts. And everyone knows it.
    However, you can knock on your chest and sing a hymn in the morning, hoping that America will become great again.

    Who said its meant to be paid off? Most is owned back to the taxpayer in form of social security and medicare, and to pay it all off would destroy the economy.

    The usual Trumper dodge. :yawn:
    He could have debunked anti-vaxxers and phony cures, encouraged every American to follow state mandates designed to limit transmission, discouraged BLM protests and large gatherings, criticized governors like Abbott and DeSantis who have not taken the pandemic seriously, and used the Defense Production Act to produce better quality PPE.

    If we had done as well as Canada, something like 400,000 Americans would be alive today.
    Whataboutism.
    Yeah, sure--Trump tried the "China virus" shtick to deflect attention from his failure to lead.
    :roflol:
    Gaslighting.
    More whataboutism.

    Of course, but it's a difficult enough feat that the Presidency has a lot of power over the budget.
    This term has been banned because Biden wayyyyyy overused it.
    Why do you guys keep going over the most basic elements in the Constitution as though they're a deep secret you're divulging?

    No, the U.S. is not bankrupt. It has never defaulted on debt.
    It has to service its debt, not pay it off.

    One of us know U.S. well enough to teach it, and one of us treats what junior high students learn about the Constitution as a revelation.

    More specifically, the House controls the process because spending bills must originate there. But so what?

    I’ll take that to mean you have no substantive answer.

    One conservative talking head, Jonathan Gilliam says that if you are training a foreign force for more than 3 or 4 years, you are training people who will be your enemy. Or something like that.

    Well sure, look at Germany and Japan, but did we spend years training their new armed forces? I know a lot of German's from the Wehrmacht signed up to organize the Bundeswehr. Don't know anything about post war Japanese armed forces.

    Train Japanese to fight against who? Unlike Afghanistan, Germany and Japan were not at state of war after WW2.

    Considering the vaccine wasn't even available until after the election, there were no anti-vaxxers, just the ones in your head. Phony cures? Like how all he said was HCQ showed promise so Democrats had to immediately demonize it? Surely you don't mean to claim Trump said to drink bleach? Only morons and hacks still regurgitate that lie. You want to know who is responsible for most of those deaths? Democrats. It is they who didn't take it seriously, it was they who told huge numbers of people to gather around China town. It was they who murdered tens of thousands of nursing home patients. It was they who when it was discovered there was cheap drugs that worked well against this virus, got between a doctor and their patient and made it hard or illegal for the doctor to prescribe those drugs. Instead, they forced doctors to not treat it at all and told sick people to stay home until they became critical and had to be hospitalized. By then it was too late for most. If Democrats didn't want to kill so many people for political purposes, as many as 85% could have lived if given therapeutics early.

    Currently China and to a lesser extent North Korea are threats to Japan.

    I said "after WW2".

    Unlike the Afghan army, the Japanese are not running to join the Chinese army. They stand on their own feet. Big difference.
