[@VVayVVard]

Foreign aid is 1% of the Federal Budget. It's like saying "I have 100 USD; if only I had 101 USD, then I could live the life of my dreams". Realistically, an extra 1 USD isn't going to buy you anything. And it's not even 1 USD----50% of foreign aid is just subsidies to the US defense sector, which itself pays taxes. Not to mention that inflation rises whenever conflicts spread. Cutting foreign aid would save us ~200 USD per citizen per year, but since it would also cause everything to cost 10% more every year, those 200 USD would evaporate very quickly.

[@jeffreyflick4501]

Start putting what you send to Ukraine, Isreal, and spend on taking care of illegal immigrants in the USA illegally, and put it in the social security fund, and you would be able to solve the problem plus give the current recipients a raise and a tax cut on the benefit they receive.

You save 200 USD per citizen (less in reality, because foreign aid is mostly a subsidy for the US defense sector, which pays taxes like everyone else) and in exchange you have to pay 10% more for everything. That's what it means to cut foreign aid. In reality, the only way to cover the deficit is to stop subsidizing the entire lives of people above 65 years of age and people with chronic medical conditions. Nothing else will cover the deficit.

Some of which didn't put in at all or hardly at all .. but many did put in.. they give them raises every year too to match inflation... They're getting "their" money... It's just going to be there'll be none for the younger, smaller generations that put in.. We're already expected to have shorter life expectancies... People need to be honest with themselves... The baby boomers gave us the short end of the stick... By refusing to produce as many kids as what their parents had... Their children and grandchildren will suffer.

Can Schweikert take Jerome Powell's job or even Janet Yellen's PLEASE. this man every time I hear him gives you true numbers and data. he doesn't care how you vote not really, he cares about these numbers effecting and affecting us!

Why are we paying UKRAINE'S Social Security?

[@tammyshultz9591]

We the people are struggling now. You the gov, have taken enough of our money and spend it on stupid pet projects or send it overseas! Give us back our country😡

[@coragrems9730]

I think if we won’t have funds for Social Security benefits then we should stop paying taxes right
