Do you have a problem reading? That is not what I have been saying. Presidents are responsible for debt they have approved via the signing of legislation. That should be pretty simple. If you sign it, you own it.
100% nonsense.
Yes, blame this CEO for the fact that virtually all rural hospitals are struggling.
When the CEO knows how tenuous their position is right now it’s not hard to see how this legislation will only make things worse. No way will it make things better.
I didn't bring it up, someone else did and I believe it was a combined post
$2 billion of my US Taxpayer dollars that's right
sure
I didn't think you would
there are 195 countries in the world
"all rural hospitals are struggling." because they are rural hospitals.
Foreign aid and humanitarian relief is an incredibly small part of the U.S. federal budget. Many people think as much as 25% of the budget goes to foreign aid. Most people think the appropriate proportion to spend would be about 10%. It is, in fact, less than 1% of the budget. Almost all U.S. foreign aid money is spent in the United States. Most of what winds up in other countries is U.S. goods and services. A lot of foreign aid is food aid, and that money goes to U.S. farmers. A lot of it is weapons, and that money goes to U.S. defense contractors. Some of it is for infrastructure, and most of it goes to pay for U.S. engineering firms. Health programs mostly go to American practitioners and pharmaceutical companies.I didn't bring it up, someone else did and I believe it was a combined post

Foreign aid to Sudan - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
The U.S.$146.4 million in 2000 and U.S.$81.8 million in 2008. given to Sudan and how much did it helps ?
that the USA gave $805 million in 2024
so tell me how much better is Sudan for all the billions that have been given because it appears every year they want more and more and more. That's NOT helping the people of Sudan, not really .... its created a dependency.
I think its great that churches pour money into helping people - individuals can too - here is one link for you to send your $$$$$$$$
Save Lives By Giving Food Today: Donate Now
The devastating war in Ukraine is triggering a wave of hunger worldwide, including in South Sudan where over 60% of the population is facing hunger this year. Soaring food and fuel prices – a symptom of the war – combined with severe flooding, droughts and violence are driving the South Sudanese...donate.wfpusa.org
But don't use US Taxpayer dollars for it IMO
a quick google AI says
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- 2024 Total: $1.8 billion.
- US Contribution: Approximately $805.7 million (44% of the total).
- Key Donors: Besides the US, the EU institutions, UK, and Netherlands also provided significant aid.
- 2025 Appeal: $4.16 billion is needed to reach 21 million people in need.
- Funding Status: As of early 2025, only a small percentage of the 2025 appeal has been funded.

You are being dishonest because you refuse to admit that presidents are responsible for their own legislative actions, not those of their predecessors.
Where is your link?! Because that list is simplistic and pretty DUMB!
What then do you mean when you talk about the CEO’s own failure. How has the CEO failed? As I said all rural hospitals are having difficulties. Now the new bill is only going to make things worse.
true
they need to prove that
that's an oxy-moron
so the Fed Govt is taking US Taxdollars, spending it on US companies, then giving it all away free to other countries

First of all, there is a vast difference between the economy that a POTUS inherits during a recession (or crisis) and that of a POTUS assuming power when the economy is sound. Bush 2 took power with a great economy and chose to cut taxes and enter a stupid costly war with all the costs that weighed on the deficit for decades. Obama inherited a mess of an economy, making deficit spending necessary and tax increases unwise.
Likewise, Biden inherited a national crisis.
Additionally, it is the easiest thing in the world and popular to cut taxes as Rs seem to do whether it is fiscally sound or not. In that respect, I blame the short sightedness of the American voter.
Your precious little tax relief will simply be eaten up by the cost shifting that will hit the states as well as the inevitable price increases of necessities.
Trump and Biden: The National Debt | Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
The national debt is on course to reach a record share of the economy under the next presidential administration, due in part to policies approved by Presidents Trump and Biden during their tiwww.crfb.org
"Obama- First of all, much of the debt increase was the result of laws and economic conditions in place before Obama took office rather than laws that passed under his presidency. The Congressional Budget Office’s first current law projections of the Obama presidency already projected debt held by the public would rise from $5.8 trillion to $9.1 trillion when Obama left office – and these projections didn’t incorporate the entire depth of the Great Recession, which reduced revenue and therefore further increased debt."
- President Trump approved $8.4 trillion of new ten-year borrowing during his full term in office, or $4.8 trillion excluding the CARES Act and other COVID relief.
- President Biden, in his first three years and five months in office, approved $4.3 trillion of new ten-year borrowing, or $2.2 trillion excluding the American Rescue Plan.
- President Trump approved $8.8 trillion of gross new borrowing and $443 billion of deficit reduction during his full presidential term.
- President Biden has so far approved $6.2 trillion of gross new borrowing and $1.9 trillion of deficit reduction.
So the rich buying a 2nd private jet is worth the extra $4 trillion added to the national debt then?
The amount the U.S. government spends on foreign aid, as a percentage of the federal budget, typically ranges between 0.7% and 1.4% NOT 25%
Not true. The bill doesn’t end what you are describing. It only reduces it.
LOL! Where did you come up with that?
Re-read what was in my comment
Stop beating this dead horse. There are good reasons and poor ones to deficit spend. Your graph is dumb. And ea POTUS inherits the last one's mistakes. Sorry you cannot tell the differences. I, for one, am happy to point out the mistakes made by presidencies of all political stripes. I am most worried about the shit show the younger generation will inherit.U.S. Debt by President: Dollar and Percentage
The national debt has increased under most U.S. presidents. Here is how much each president's time in office added to the U.S. debt by percentage and dollar amounts.www.investopedia.com
its dumb for a President to be held accountable for what happens in his Presidency ? to NOT do that would be dumb OR .... blame Obama and Biden for all of Trump's administration woes. Are you ready to do that ?
you can use all the excuses and reasons you want to - bottom line is what those administrations spent. EVERY POTUS has excuses and reasons
and incredibly accurate and factual
How was I wrong? It's you that didn't read the complete comment accurately. Stop being such a big baby and own your mistakes.
So debt is meaningless then.
Reagan spent the most of any president in history as a percent of gdp.
LOL, as you cheer in this thread about how much free stuff you are getting.
