U.S. Budget Deficit Widens 77 Percent

It is impossible to have a discuss with you when you refuse to do so with your dodges.

 

Great.

Now tell me how you propose to measure respect

 

You observe it.

 

your argument remains refuted. and you know that.

 

This isn't a discussion. You make demonstrably false claims, they are then completely refuted, then you circle back around in a different thread and make the same argument that was previously refuted. Every time you make them, and I see them, I will point it out. I am not the only one who does so.

 

You've yet to show a false claim and your refusal to discuss issues means your post are pointless.

 

Yeah yeah yeah blah blah blah when you can refute the facts just claim you have.

 

you of course know this is false.

 

But you are fully aware I've refuted your argument, with actual facts.

 

Contrary to the liars claiming the military is the biggest "socialist" expenditure even tho national defense is in the Constitution ...

In FY 2018 total US government spending on welfare — federal, state, and local — was “guesstimated” to be $1,091 billion, including $642 billion for Medicaid, and $449 billion in other welfare.

How do you measure it?

 

Dude..."welfare" is such an amorphous term. You literally quoted welfare to include "federal, state, and local" as well as "medicaid, and...other welfare."

 

You mean that you couldn't care less.

And it matters if a President has "soft power" with other countries.

 

I meant what I said.

Merriam-Webster

Is It 'Could' or 'Couldn't Care Less'?
Can you care fewer?

In an attempt to add another dubious assertion to our collection of rhetorical proclamations, we may state with absolute assurance that there are but two kinds of people in this world: those who feel very angry when someone omits a negative particle in “I couldn’t care less,” and those who don’t give such matters much thought. Is there a meaningful difference between these kinds of people, or these two phrases?

We define could care less and couldn’t care less on the same page, with the single definition “used to indicate that one is not at all concerned about or interested in something.” We do not put these seemingly disparate idioms on the same page in order to save space, or so that we might cause you pain. We do it because one is simply a variant of the other, and they are used in a synonymous manner.

Go play grammar police elsewhere.

 

I don't have to I observe it. Why is it more important foreign countries like the President than repsect our country?

 

Dood, yup. Welfare is a trillion + $ of donk vote buying, and it's the biggest "socialist" spending in the US of A. It's not the military that some liars will claim. I can come up with another $140 BILLION of welfare payments without breaking a sweat.

 

Your posts are pretty fertile ground.

And, yes---there's a huge difference between "could" and "couldn't".

BTW, since AFM is apparently frightened to answer my questions about all of these wondrous trade agreements that Bonespurs is(n't) negotiating, why don't you give it a try?

 

The budget for the department of defense is the single largest socialist expenditure in the United States.

 

You are not observing anything, that's the point. You see other countries respecting the United States at some increased amount, in spite of objective data to the contrary (because "approval" for the country is synonymous, or at least a close approximation for "respect"), because that is what you want to see.

If you have no way of measuring respect, then you have no actual justification beyond your own biased interpretation of how billions of people view our country.

 

BTW, isn't kinda odd how what is essentially unConstitutional welfare spending is "mandatory" spending, and the Constitutional military is "discretionary" spending?

 

How are you "observing" respect increasing for our country?

 

My sig line is meant for peeps like you.

 

Sure I am, in trade deals in defense deals.
Again is it better that other countries like the President personally or respect our country. And if can't observe that respect that is your problem not mine.

 

Are you trying to argue that the United States has signed more trade deals or defense deals in the last years?

And it is absolutely your problem if you can't provide any evidence for your claim of more respect. I can provide significant polling data to show that approval rating for the United States is much, much lower in every single country across the planet - with the exception of Russia (massively) and Israel (slightly).

 

No where did you get that idea?

Again I don't care about polling data in foriegn countries as to whether they like a President personally. I care if they respect our country and behave and deal with us accordingly.
