It's not a 'sale'. It's a handout to the welfare apartheid state, while Americans are wondering why their roads are falling apart, their education sucks and no universal health care.
Tell that to the arms companies that are supplying about 5 bil worth of stuff for 20 bil of taxpayer's money
It is a sale. US policy now is get the hell away from the Middle East. If Israel wants to fight, we can sell them weapons, but we won't be sending our soldiers to fight their wars. This is why we also pushing so hard for EVs.
As for roads and education that's actually covered local government and local taxes.
The reason we don't have universal healthcare is because Republicans consistently block it (they even trying over and over remove ACA). Universal healthcare not only wouldn't cost us more it would actually be cheaper to what we have right now.
It is a sale.
If I give you $400 per week for 5 weeks and tell you to spend it at my store, and you come in and buy $2000 worth of stuff… did I actually make a sale?
A government is not a business and doesn't operate as one.
This is why, for example if government starts spending money to improve infrastructure, like fixing bridges, building rail etc it causes GDP to grow. This is also the reason when during recession there's a lot of projects like that. It simulates the economy.
we won’t be sending our soldiers to fight their wars
Lol sure.
we also pushing so hard for EVs
Lol Part Deux. Yes, America is leading the way in EV adoption while phasing out big, gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs as rapidly as humanly possible.
Universal healthcare not only wouldn’t cost us more it would actually be cheaper to what we have right now.
Congratulations on not being completely wrong in your comment.
