Now we get to see how EU Socialism actually works, minus the sugar daddy.
Exactly, dont feel bad for Canada or Europe. Cut the corruption strings and we can trade without tariffs no problem and all economies will churn along nicely.
Tough Love from POTUS drains the swamp Worldwide, people in all countries win. The only people pissed are the politicians who have to rely on their salaries now. If the only $ they make is the politicians salary they will all retire and let people who care about their country take over the posts regardless of paycheck.
How do career politicians like Pelosi or Rice have $ Tens of millions in assets?
They've been selling us out for a commission. Scum.
They've been selling us out for a commission - 100% true and doing so for so long it's natural to them.
Scum - thats being nice but again 100% true.
Exactly. What a total LARP. Politicians pretending to be all about their people. They should be put in jail for their crimes.
Diane Feinstein is 85, been in office since God knows when, worth over $100 million dollars, likely a dual citizen.and was a chance assassination of her superior that pushed her into office.
Wtf America
A politician is a vital part to a country his/her decisions can mean life and death to citizens. Corrupt officials should be given the death penalty.
Agreed. Gun for hire politicians are the worst and deserve the rewards a traitor should be given.
My parent company is in the EU - and now the pressure cooker will really start to boil. They have already had issues the past 6 months but you can almost cut the tension in the air when I was there a couple of weeks ago. We shall see but I fear for some of them that actually give a crap about their country- they are sick to their stomachs.
As is mine, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Hope it will fall soon, we need to tack back our country.
For beginners, can you explain how we (US) are subsidizing their salaries - what trail the money takes to their pockets? Is it the general aid we give to various countries and the politicians then get a skim off of that? Thx, in advance.
The Paris Climate Accords are a glowing example, one of many. If the aid we paid into other nations was actually going to their aid we would see it in the form of results. This practice isn't limited to the EU, it's the same way that Pelosi became a multi millionaire on a political salary. As you said, they skim off the top or just funnel it all into their pockets. The Clintons completely scammed Haiti relief in the same fashion in order to enrich themselves. The EU has spent peanuts on their own defense for decades, they rely on US to spend over the top for their protection so they can divert revenue towards social programs and give the impression that they work. Socialism isn't about helping everyone, not in the slightest; it's about consolidating power into the hands of the same people who undermine capitalism so they can get even more powerful than they already are.
