It’s blatant extortion now.

      Have these random programs actually helped Americans?

      To my naive view, would America not he better served with a far more progressive tax system, in lieu of spending these large sums to foreign countries and various agencies that squander what could be given to the poor?

      In what world is giving the poor more money directly not he an effective means of raising their standard of living, which should be the main point of a progressive government?

      Great take. I agree. We know this from Project 2025. Keep an eye on it but don’t let it distract. Trump and cronies are using a strategy coined flood the zone to prevent coordinated opposition against them in politics and media.
