The “we’re broke “ claim by the usuals, while not false, is classic trolling.

For decades the US spent trillions in anticipation with a conflict with the Soviet Union, and now that it is here(let’s be real the Soviet Union was always Russia with the others including Warsaw pact members being used and exploited) the usuals cry deficits, debt, and border security.

Your points are well said

The idea that 60 billion or 200 billion or whatever number they throw out is all new spending is a false narrative, but they know that.

Likewise aid to Ukraine or border security is a false narrative. Border issue is a political one not a financial one. The problem existed long before this war and will exist after unless the will to “fix” it is found

I don't think they do. Certainly 99% of the screamers posting here don't.

Let me turn that fiction into fact for you:

For decades the US spent trillions trying to start a conflict with the Soviet Union.
