CNBC: U.S. can ‘certainly’ afford military support to both Israel and Ukraine, Janet Yellen says
* President Joe Biden in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday reiterated Washington’s “unwavering support” for Israel in its war against Palestinian militant group Hamas.
* Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unscheduled return to Israel on Monday, the 10th day of an Israeli aerial bombardment campaign of the Gaza Strip.
* Israel’s siege, which has been widely criticized by human rights organizations, came as a response to a brutal and large-scale terrorist attack carried about by Hamas on Oct. 7.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the country can “absolutely” afford to financially support both Israel and Ukraine in their respective war efforts.
President Joe Biden in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday reiterated Washington’s “unwavering support” for Israel in its war against Palestinian militant group Hamas, and said he had provided Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with an update on both U.S. military support and efforts to protect civilians as the conflict escalates.

Sure, if you think debt is not an issue 🤦♂️
debt a problem? fix tax system
There are 3 interrelated problems
1 Debt owed to nonnationals
2 Paying for imports
3 Offshoring
Total debt does not matter. What matters is debt owed to non Us citizens and entities.
Paying for imports is not as much of a problem if you pay off you external debt and if you are seen as a safe haven with a good economy. Joe Biden gives not such warm and fuzzy. Kamala is not elderly, but she is dumb as a box of rocks and she does not have Joe's excuse of senility, Governor Newsom is not an inspiring figure. He has no principles except going with the flow of the Democrat party. The same has been said of Joe Biden.
1:06 is Fred and Fred is a known idiot. People produce less when they are heavily taxed. Less than 10 years off the boat, my spouse complained about how the more you made the greater percentage they taxed. Coming from a communist country, my spouse expected better.
My spouse lived in a communism system for a whole generation. Fred just plays at it and pines for it like a dilettante, semi-educated tribal savage that he is.

Cheers!!
I can't afford a house but "we" can afford 2 wars.
Fred seems to know a bit about offshoring, since he is up on the group doing the Panama papers and its follow-up. And he seems also to know the huge tax break Trump gave the very wealthy. And he knows that the very wealthy are hardly paying their fair share and this has gotten worse over the years. And finally he knows that what he knows can all be verified by doing a search.

ok agree communism is bad if you mean Russia, Cuba etc but then other systems seem to function properly and indicate that education, health, etc are all good to the point of making citizens very pleased.
Yes. If you are middle class, taxes are bad. But check out taxes paid by the super-wealthy!
2:07 is Feed or a family member answering for Fred.
The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid a 25.99 percent average rate, more than eight times higher than the 3.1 percent average rate paid by the bottom half of taxpayers.
If the goal is to maximize revenue for the operations of the Federal government, how do Trump's tax cuts look? Revenues went up.
If you main thrust is not first to maximize revenues to the Federal government, you probably are into envy, class warfare and Marxism.
The top 1 percent will always find a legal or illegal tax avoidance method. what the incessant and insane calls for 90% tax rates do is create another donut hole. Democrats experts at creating donut holes and sticking to the middle class.
There is always a program to help the poor. They don't get hurt by the Democrats. they do not have much to take otherwise the Democrats would take it.
The rich have accountants. A rich person can invest in industries favored by the government. They make a windfall in that business and then use the tax credit to wipe out their tax debt to the government. the rich have you coming and they have you going.
Who has an accountant? Yeah Fred. Fred's accountant will find a legal tax shelter to protect Fred's wealth and lower his tax rate. So while Fred screams like a baby for high tax rates he knows that relative to his fellow man he is not paying those increased tax rates. While his tax rate might go up some it won't go up as much as it does for others.
Don't you dare call Fred's legal tax shelter a loophole or tax dodge.
Democrats have created donut holes in health care, education and in general for the tax system.
The Medicare Donut Hole: What’s New for 2022
The term DONUT HOLE was used for health care as far back as the 1990s and was not sued for Part D Donut hole.
Point is Democrats excel in creating donut holes.
It is the way it has to be.
Alphas, Betas & Deltas
Politburo/Central committee, apparatchiks and proles.
Democrat Leaders, intelligentsia and fly over country/little people
Fred obviously is part of the intelligentsia, if you must ask.
Its pretty obvious by now that the US economy is a war driven and if there is no war they will make one happen so both the Ukraine and the Israel/Palestine conflict are very welcomed by them and they will do their utmost best to keep on stocking the fires of Hell
Pretty obvious that 3:04 is a troll.
There are openings in Berdyansk and Luhansk for refuelers, maintainers and weapons handlers. No doubt there are might be a few pilots slots that need filling after last night. But you as a pilot ain't going to happen, so set you sights lower to one of the first three my friend.
I will not that the economy boomed after Kennedy cut taxes, but don't tell Dead Head Fred.

The Russian Army’s Huge Engineering Vehicles Could Carve Paths Across Ukraine
Note the article date: Jan 4, 2022
Russia decided way, way before February 22, 2022 to invade.
Literally there was nothing Ukraine could do since the spring of 2014 except to give in to every Russian demand to avoid war.
GOD DAMNED FUCKERS!
"Many of the tax benefits set up to help individuals and families will expire in 2025."
Yes Dead Head. It is called a sunset clause. Putting one in is about the only way you could pass it. Otherwise the Demofuck Party would vote against it. The Democrfuck part when a few broke ranks to save their seats, voted for it hoping that in the future there is not a strong Republican president or a Republican majority so they can go back to sticking it to the Middle class.

The law created a single corporate tax rate of 21%.
"For the wealthy, banks, and other corporations, the tax reform package was considered a lopsided victory given its significant and permanent tax cuts to corporate profits, investment income, estate tax, and more"
Corporations do not pay taxes. they pass them on to consumers. the cost of making a product or delivering a service would be materials, direct labor overhead (office staff) and taxes. To stay in business, a corporation has to charge more for a product or service that it paid to create said product or service.
Price of outputs > Cost of Inputs
or the corporation goes bankrupt.
Let me reiterate since Deadhead is slow. The consumer pays the taxes not the corporation.
Russia and China don’t stand a chance. Get your head out of your ass. Are you in denial that the US has the most powerful military in the world? Still?? They are prepared to laser beam your eyebrows off you face. Dumbass WNU BS
"My spouse lived in a communism system for a whole generation"
I have a hard time believing you were able to attract a spouse.
I have a hard time believing you are not a mobik and have not been voluntold to be a suicide bomber.
So an ATACMS hot to helicopter bases. 8 helicopters are damaged or destroyed.
That will leave a mark on the Russian flying artillery. Radar was hit too. Can Russia now operate on those bases? If they pull back, will they have the required operational range or loiter time to make a difference?
Does Russia have enough AD to fill the hole just made?
With a radar hit can Ukraine hit the same bases again with storm shadow and destroy more helicopters?
Got to keep working on the helicopters and SU-25s.
Russia should just leave.
motherfuckers!
Hamas builds there rockets in workshops not proper factories. Quality is not job 1.
their rockets fall short all the time.
Quality is not job 1 in legacy Western newspapers either.
Exactly. Just keep in mind how many Americans voted for and support the people that make this possible. We got too comfortable at the top, got complacent and tripped up real bad. Now it’s somebody else’s turn to take the world for a spin
