3.2 billion a year for comparison since this keeps coming up, the following is the amount the us was spending in a trade deficit with china for the last 20 years (in billions).

2020: -310.263 2019: -344.312 2018: -418.232 2017: -375.167 2016: -346.825 2015: -367.328 2014: -344.817 2013: -318.683 2012: -315.102 2011: -295.249 2010: -273.041

And so on... 2000: -83.833

Even so far back as 2020 you are no where close to the amount of money being spent on China. Trump when he did something about it saved the US more than 200 billion per year just with that one deal.

That's enough to support 65 Israels.

Pretty sure it's more along the lines of $10 mil a day.

I was listening to a pastor discuss tithes recently, and one thing he said stuck with me: the giving of tithes is a command from God to give a tenth of what you reap to him. Whether that’s a harvest of crops, or the slaughtering of animals for meat, God used to demand a percentage of that. Now, in our modern world, God is being replaced by government institutions that spy on you 24/7, and they demand far more than 10% of all your wealth.

These cunts quite literally want to live forever and know everything: they want to be gods.

Tower of Babel, when you play god, be it transgender or whatever, you eventually reap the punishment

In medieval times, subjects gave 1/10 of their crops to the king. Nowadays, we give more like 70% what we make to the shitty government and they're still have a deficit. These mothefuckers demand more than a deity. Pretty much sure high taxes are a sin. It's no different than a theft at this point.

Is that on top of the 3.5 billion dollars they get annually?

Two sides of the same coin, yet separate issues; cities are wildly mismanaged by democrats, while Republicans give Isreal cash hand over fist.

There are about 150 million taxpayers in the US. In order for the government to spend $8.5 million a day everyone chips in $0.05 per day. That's not enough to save cities, but it's part of a bigger problem. The government extracts $3.2 trillion from the population every year or $8.8 billion per day, $58.6 each.

Foreign aid to Afghanistan alone is $13.4 million per day.

I don't think money should be being sent to Israel, but I don't think spending should be so high regardless. Shouldn't be sending money goddamn anywhere. They do it to keep countries trading oil in USD, the petro dollar is the only reason the US is able to spend as much money as it does.

The amount extracted from the population every year only covers a portion of the budget. The rest is "borrowed" and that's only allowed to happen for now because of the stability of the currency (currently plummeting in value).

A famous point is the IRS. Per the IRS, the US gov takes in

The IRS collected more than $3.5 trillion in gross taxes in Fiscal Year Biden has spent how much money in the past few weeks alone?

Well like, yeah I'd be curious to know how much money has been spent in the last couple weeks.

Millennials say Boomers ruined the economy but no spending happened on the scale it does today by a long shot. Funding for NASA during the Apollo missions which was ten years total, was considered a massive amount of spending at the time. I ran the numbers a while ago and even adjusted for inflation the federal government spends that much every two weeks now or something like that.

It's ridiculous. At this point they have proved they don't need our tax money, money doesn't mean anything.

This is what inevitably happens in exponential rate currency inflation. As we get closer to the right side of the curve, the problems become much more apparent compared to prior. What could be fixed with billions, now takes trillions
