Ever notice the US never has $$$ until the GOP wants something?
Every time there’s a debate on funding something or a Democrat is in the White House all we hear about is how much in debt this country is and we have to clamp down and control spending. Then a Republican walks in and wants to go to war or fund something and it’s of “national security” we have to do it. Like now, Trump wants to add $600 billion to the pentagons budget and buy Greenland for close to a trillion. Where is that coming from?
