Hopefully you realize that most of that money goes back into the hands of US citizen employees and businesses which then build more than what the US needs so the can sell at the excess to other countries at a profit. I think we'd all like to not have to spend money on things that kill, main, and destroy but this investment advanced the technology we need to keep our place as the largest economy. It's a deal with the devil.
Just love that new CNN mgmt, calling the regular annual federal budget "government spending"... a nice dog whistle for the right. >

Also made sure to spend plenty of time talking about Biden vacationing. Has Obama golfing vibes. Who cares if he is on vaction its results not days at a desk that matter. >

Did you care about how many vacations trump took? >


its results not days at a desk that matter.

once the results start lacking, yeah, your vacations start being looked at. >

It's been a good two years, President Biden and the Democrats got way more done than I ever anticipated, and I wouldn't say I started off pessimistic. 
If you're new to watching politics you should know that this has been one of the most effective Congressional terms in decades, actual decades, like, since the 1990's decades. 
It's sad to see it go, I would've loved two more years of legislative progress, but it's nice to ~~remember~~ find out what it feels like.  (I was ten in 1994, so, yeah.) >

They spent way to much on defense, the approved more than the WH requested but we still can’t feed homeless kids or forgive student debt which would cost a fraction of that budget.
Be happy with some progress, but be critical of the excessive spending when we are told it costs too much to help those struggling. >

This is another reason why folks don't think much has gotten done: There are a lot of people out there that are eager to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. >

Being critical and of the most powerful people who are lobbied and bribed but sometimes toss the vulnerable scraps in this country is important part of democracy. You can be proud of and criticize your victories. >


scraps >

The fact that Biden has kept our government functional is pretty awesome! >

I know, now imagine if we had a president under 50. >

We didn’t have that choice but he’s doing great 
Gas is down too - Biden did that lol 
Funny how fast those stickers were removed by republicans >

All my holiday vacation I didn't hear a peep about gas prices. They went up about 10 cents today and suddenly my whole family is saying "Biden is messing with the gas prices again, what a surprise" like really.... >

Federal employees got a nice raise. So that's a good thing. >

Retired people got an 8% raise. >

Pretty happy with this, at the very least Republicans can't start out using it as a weapon against everybody.
Personally would've liked to see a bit less into the DoJ (if we lived in peaceful times) and a bit more into NASA and Research, but it'll do. >

850 some billion on military shit we dont need.
how about reinvesting that into the people.   like college, health care, homelessness, the list goes on
