Just read on Zerohedge that CONgress is set to approve 1.1 Billion military aid package to Taiwan.
WTF?
Congress, in of itself has turned into a national security threat.

Looting the treasury is always one of the last acts of a collapsing empire.
Ours was looted long ago
True, they're just running up the credit card bill now, with no way to pay it.
Printing to zero. Check.
Engaging hostilities with two nuclear super powers. Check.
Deliberate destruction of US. Check.
No one is able to stop those stupid fucks. Check.
Just a point of reference. I'm early 40s and was a kid out of highschool a couple years in 2004.
I was 41 in 2004.
User name fits, dip shit.
Oh yes, internet points are all the rage now. [snickers]
Gold standard would keep those globohomos on check.
When does some piece of fuck country start sending ME money? That's about all I care about anymore.
When you take out loans to go to a liberal college.
Appalachia is populated by niggers now? Based!
Between the two of us, by your own standards, you're the nigger and I'm the evolved "white man" in this relationship. Nigger is probably the biggest word you know.
Thank God for that precious word! Totally doesn't make you look like a moron, noyoushotup! Good work. Smartest guy on the board man.
God damn you're fucking stupid.
Wow a string of vulgar names, you got me. 200IQ play.
Communists are pedophiles
A very significant percentage of the world's microprocessors / CPUs are manufactured in Taiwan.
If China takes Taiwan, the world changes big time.
The US just sent 50 billion to the Ukraine.
Should have sent 1.1 billion to the Ukraine, and 50 Billion to Taiwan.
Get your money out of the banks. It’s literally losing value as we speak/type.
And put it where… under the mattress to continue losing value? Real estate? What are you suggesting? (Not that I don’t agree with the sentiment, just that simply pulling it out will do no good)
Any physical commodity that you can barter with and/or land.
Skill sets, seeds, land, tangible assets. Might be a bit late.
No offense, but I don't see any recent post on ZH recently regarding 1.1b in aid to Taiwan. Perhaps you can post a link. Of maybe it was a comment? If so, what story?
In the article about Taiwan shooting live rounds at Chinese drones. It's there.
Believe it or not the reason they're so desperate to spend is because our rising interest rate is crushing the Euro. If Congress can force the FED to create more dollars they can halt the rising interest rate, or even lower it. However, this time, the FED will not capitulate like they always have in the past. It's a power struggle and the US bankers are going to win.
I do not expect any more big spending bills to pass and I expect interest rates to continue rising.
It is way worse than interest rates. Congress welds no power over the FED.
The FED is the last bastion for positive interest rates in western hegemony. Let that sink in.
With the dollar full fiat there will be no end in sight to spending.
The House hasn't passed a balanced budget since 2001.
Billions and trillions will be printed.
As of June 2022, the FED has put 2,278 BILLION dollars into circulation.
This is a part of that overall plan. Print to zero.
Paper money eventually reverts to its intrinsic value, zero. - Voltaire
Biden just announced his "Safe America Plan". Another 10B he will ask CONgress to approve. More deficit spending. Who won't approve more police?

just 1.1?
The Center of the world for high-end IC manufacturing gets 1.1 billion but a potato field in butt fuck nowhere gets 40 billion here 20 billion there...
How is this a bad thing? A free Taiwan will keep China's bullying in check.
I'm with you, I like Taiwan. I'm for giving them aid, though I don't want gov't stealing our money to do it.
That tiny island?
Every day Taiwan operates as a sovereign nation, is a day CCP is reminded that it cannot enforce it's outdated political ideology outside of its borders.
except for Canada
Of all the aid the gov gives out, at least Taiwan isn't about some bullshit reason. It would be ostensibly fighting communism. But in reality they are all on the same team, so I don't think Taiwan is really going to be protected.
you gonna have to go back a few years when COCKgress passed a bill making it mandatory that the USA supply weapons to taiwan.
