| #9 You know why this is. Your country is run by corporations now That money goes to those countries in “aid” that must be spent on weapons and products produced by certain corporations That money goes to lockheed martin, northrop grumman, general dynamics, boeing and a zillion military contractors idk the names of If you want your taxes spent on Hurricane Helene victims who lost everything (and some their lives) then you know what you are going to have to do Break up the corporations It is the only way Only when they are made into hundreds of smaller businesses with no more than 5000 employees and a limited product line, then they won’t be large and centralised enough to run your country as they see fit. You are going to have to break all the largest corporations into smaller businesses. Dow, Visa, McKinsey, Bain, Pfizer, Meta, Amazon, all of them |

| #8 Sherwood Forest Blues, or, The Locksley Box Lo, ye Bishop of Nottingham spake, "Sho', 'tis just from the rich shall I take, Yo, and do only good, So forsake Robin Hood!" ... "One ten-thousandth of venison steak?" "Don't be gauche. Mo' And the raucous counterpoint of unipartying persons played on. |

| #7 From Procopius2k’s tweet: Oh, and FEMA doesn't have enough money to make it through hurricane season yet spent $640M on illegal aliens. Never mind the rest of the budget. The key is the choices FEMA leadership made on how to spend their own budget. |

| #6 And when we needed help, the internet flooding with government shills, "drrrr drrrr you don't like federal government so you shouldn't get anything drrr drrr." Know what motherfuckers. We were forced to pay for something, or else, and whatever its time to perform that end of the promise. Do that well, and humbly, maybe people go "You know maybe there is a place for a coordinated federal emergency response." And what have all these people who have paid into the federal government or else getting? Ridicule, penny pinching, and inefficiency. But Elenskyyy, he and Boeing getting theirs, bet you taxpayer bought those paint pens for $100 each so they could be taken home as souvenirs. Suck your dirty drinking water. |

| #5 I had the displeasure of sitting through TV commercials when a Harris ad came on. Some old black dude walking around saying the lines, with the hook, "I'm voting for Harris, because I'm not rich as hell." Well, dude - here's your fucking money and where it went. And Harris estimated ie disclosed net worth is some $8million and $6million retirement. I'm feeling fucking rich as hell if I can have decent groceries after bills are paid, so don't yell at me bro I'm just trying to watch a game. |

| #4 Rex Mundi, a federal budget is more than a list of priorities. Under the Federal Acquisition Regulations and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations, agency budgets as passed by Congress control how/where $$$ can be spent, although the non-DOD agencies have a lot more flexibility than DOD re: that. |

| #1 Add 2 trillions for WOT. p.s. IMO, you should subtract the prices your gov offered for the heads of all the Hezbollah & IRGC operatives that Israel killed in the last 11 months from the sum for Israel. |
