Today’s current USA National Debt: $31,700,000,000,00

0

So far You (via the politicans you & I elected) have sent $54,000,000,000 to the Ukraine.

In a report published on Feb. 17, USAID said it had so far provided $13 billion in “direct budget support” to the government of Ukraine “GoU’ for short.

“This funding has helped the government of Ukraine y the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders,” the report says. “It has also helped the GoU to sustain critical healthcare services, meet its pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people, assist 1.3 million internally displaced persons, provide housing assistance to 4.1 million people, and provide social assistance to 240,000 low-income families and 480,000 persons with disabilities.”

( I am not sure if this is the way we want our money spent – I like to help BUT, I do not see this National Dept as a good thing for the younger generation. I have to live with a balanced budget and its sometimes tough but this USA debt is worse than credit card debt and eventually its going to be the ruin of the Good Old US of A!))

Flashback-Biden: If ‘You Leave Those Billions of Dollars of Weapons Behind’ in Iraq, They’ll ‘Be Used Against Your Grandchild’ –

ACRAIG BANNISTER | NOVEMBER 8, 2021 |

At an August 12, 2007 campaign event in Winterset, Iowa, Biden warned that the billions of dollars of weapons left behind – such as those left behind by the U.S. military’s hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan this year – would end up being used against America:

“It will take a year to get the American troops out. Do you hear me, now? That’s the truth.

“It will take a year to get them physically out.

“Now, if you leave all the equipment behind, you might be able to do it in seven months.

“Then, you leave those billions of dollars of weapons behind you that, I promise you, are going to be used against your grandchild and mine, someday.”

Bottom Line: Truer Words were never spoken!

Is this Fair or Foul? What say you?

The new mortgage financing rules will make homebuyers with riskier credit ratings and lower down payments qualify for better mortgage rates and discounted fees.

This is according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Sandra Thompson, a Biden appointee. The fee changes will “increase pricing support for purchase borrowers limited by income or by wealth.”

Homebuyers with good credit scores will soon encounter a costly surprise: a new federal rule forcing them to pay higher mortgage rates and fees to subsidize people with riskier credit ratings who are also in the market to buy houses.

The new rule enforced by the Biden administration will make it so that people looking to buy a home with a credit score of 680 or higher will have to pay about $40 per month more than people with worse credit when taking out a home loan of $400,000.

4,155-pages $1.7 TRILLION dollars! Do you believe that those who voted for it actually read it?!

This reference is from December 2022, when the president signed the 4,155-page bill for $1.7 TRILLION dollar government spending bill. It’s very interesting to see what’s included in this bill that YOU and I and OUR kids will be forever paying for.

The spending package provides an “Additional” $45 billion in emergency assistance for Ukraine, and includes $772.5 billion for domestic priorities, $858 billion for defense and 40 billion in disaster relief.

$15 Billion in Pet Projects to cover 7,200 earmarks for projects in lawmakers’ home states and districts. (side note: this is up from 4,962 that totaled $9 billion in the April 2022 spending package). This essentially allows lawmakers to use taxpayer money to fund pet projects without public debate or discussion.(Bribes to vote for passage maybe?)

A paltry $410 million to “remain available” to reimburse Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia and Oman for “enhanced border security.” With at least $150 million of that must go to Jordan.

Speaking of boarders, $339.6 million goes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for “non-detention border management requirements,” funds that are prohibited from being used to “acquire, maintain, or extend border security technology and capabilities” unless they’re for improving processing.

$575 million “should be made available for family planning/reproductive health, including in areas where population growth threatens biodiversity or endangered species.” Also noted was $3.6 million for a project called “Michelle Obama Trail – PATH Trail Project” in Georgia.

As an update!!!

According to the internet not only does “everyone” know about my Iphone cloud storage issues but I am still waiting for the dozen’s of packages that UPS and other delivery places say I have coming.

It simply boggles the mind on how many people must know that my Icloud storage is full and want to help me out. It makes it so hard to know which one to click on. …………NOT!

JUST AN UPDATE

The fact checkers on FB saw this post as totally incorrect and that the Aztec’s (pictured) never even though about sacrificing their leaders when having epidemics. So now it’s updated. They did agreed that Aztec priests, using razor-sharp obsidian blades, sliced open the chests of sacrificial victims and offered their still-beating hearts to the gods. They then tossed the victims’ lifeless bodies down the steps of the towering Templo Mayor. They believed that human sacrifice nourished the gods. Without it, the sun would cease to rise and the world would end. But with that said, this does not mean they didn’t think about what the meme suggested though the fact checkers can not prove that’s incorrect. So it may NOT truly be representative of their culture, but it is possible maybe they may have had similar thoughts concerning their “leaders”. I suppose, especially the severely cognitive deficient ones 🙂
