Briton is also working on a 5 year aid supply to Ukraine.
Damn. That is huge. More than €1000 per capita >

Somewhat amusingly, I have already spent more on Ukraine than €1000 in 2022 (am Norwegian). >

Hookers? >

I directly paid the army so they could get weapons. >

what paypal account is this ? (semi serious but still serious question) >

ah well SEPA is good enough >

It’s amazing to me that Norway is proposing this when I read that the population of Norway is less than the population of Minnesota (Minnesota 5.7M, Norway 5.4M). >

Norway has the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, providing a value of roughly $250,000 per Norwegian. They dumped all the surplus profits from their huge oil and gas reserves into it.
That 7 billion is pocket change for them >

We could give €70bn over 5 years and we wouldn't really notice that much of a difference in anything. >

No because that kind of liberal spending doesn't build this fund, saving saving saving does.
Classic liberal >

We don’t have money because conservatives (predominantly) decided wealthy individuals and corporations need to be given handouts in the form of tax breaks. The spending patterns in the US are pretty benign compared to the rest of the world. Every other advanced country spends 5-20% more of their GDP than we do. We simply refuse to collect enough in tax revenue to operate effectively as a government. There’s no other way around that. Arguing that it’s liberal spending is a waste of breath, although I’m sure it makes you feel better. >

If you’re pro-taxes then I don’t care what else you think about spending, we can be on the same team lol >

Yes, high taxes to not be spent now and instead infinitely reinvested (ie never to be given back out as direct stimulus in any form to people as welfare cheques or any such degenerate wasted money), the closest thing to welfare money should be spent on is infrastructure (not bike lanes or highways, actually useful infrastructure like power generation and internet infrastructure to be owned by the state) >

Lol you do you my friend but you may be striking the hardest bargain imaginable by including highways (and presumably every other form of lesser transportation infrastructure) in that statement >

Itl never happen anyways
Degenerate liberals will get elected, raise taxes and spend alllll that money giving heroin addicts stimulus to send right off to the worst place on earth and in history, China, in exchange for cheap shit directly funding the authoritarinaization of humanity when our financial resources are drained and they pass the west in gdp and take us over instead of investing it properly and giving those scumfuckers in that shit hole the global fuck you
