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.
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.
Lol sure.
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.
