It is important, from a securiy standpoint, for the U.S. to be the one helping people from the Western Hemisphere when they need it. The U.S. should be the primary provider of these services because if we don't do it, someone without our interests in mind probably will (reference Cuba and Russia).

The Monroe doctrine was one of the most important principals for United States security, now as much as in the past.

Well when that was written there weren't 100,000,000+ people on welfare. Are you an open borders kind of guy? Do you really think we should be taking in millions of poor, uneducated people that will jump on the dole?

Let's get real- illegal immigrants cost taxpayers 120 Billion / year. It's absurd to import millions of welfare recipients. The left doesn't care, they're just desperate for more voters. It's just another democrat voter fraud scam

Canada, the UK, Australia, etc. all have affordable healthcare. The healthcare & drugs in Australia when I lived there were so cheap cost of living was awesome. Trump wants to have only privatized healthcare in America and take away affordable healthcare for millions of Americans. Immigrants should be stupid to choose America over other Western developed countries.

Corporations profit from illegal immigrants. Keeping them illegal guarantees slave status.

Corporations are the biggest welfare recipients in the country, and its not even close.

Trump Wants Families On Food Stamps To Get Jobs. The Majority Already Work

"It found that 54 percent of the families who turn to pantries to help put food on the table have at least one member working, and that rate was much higher, 71 percent, for households with kids."

BREAKING: House Intel Committee Officially Begins Process To #ReleaseTheMemo

Based on what members of Congress are saying, the contents of this memo will be so shocking, so outrageous, that people around the world will be stunned at the massive criminality of the previous admin. It will lead to the eventual takedown of the criminals

“I don’t think that there’s anything you’re going to see in that memo that’s going to be a surprise,” said Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.). “It’s what we believe based on what we’ve researched.”

So, according to a member of the intelligence committee it is "WHAT WE BELIEVE", not what has been proven, not what is fact but WHAT WE BELIEVE.

So, it is conjecture, pure and simple.

Our healthcare is "affordable" because we pay way more in taxes than you do. And for all that we get very lengthy wait times for treatment. Wait times for diagnostics and specialists are several months in most cases.

But it's all well and good for the rich and politicians because they just hop across the border into the US to get treatment on demand.

What I Learned in the Peace Corps in Africa: Trump Is Right

Quote:

Three weeks after college, I flew to Senegal, West Africa, to run a community center in a rural town. Life was placid, with no danger, except to your health. That danger was considerable, because it was, in the words of the Peace Corps doctor, "a fecalized environment."

In plain English: s--- is everywhere. People defecate on the open ground, and the feces is blown with the dust ? onto you, your clothes, your food, the water. He warned us the first day of training: do not even touch water. Human feces carries parasites that bore through your skin and cause organ failure.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that a few decades later, liberals would be pushing the lie that Western civilization is no better than a third-world country. Or would teach two generations of our kids that loving your own culture and wanting to preserve it are racism.

what is new on that?

who said that these countries are great spots to live ?

and WHY donīt you see the advantage in that?

if you would have the smallest clue HOW an economy works you would know that THIS is the biggest chance the western world had to grow.

if you would really understand that and read the numbers you would know that your country is already fucked when all this "shithole countries" stop to buy from you.
AND: they do not buy from you because you are so great - they bought from you because they got credit lines - what they have to pay back later (with work - and work bring money - and money brings more consumption)

actually the "shitholes" of 30 years ago lend you money now and you need their production more as they need yours.

you will see in 2 or 3 years (because the effect of the present damages will need that time) HOW fucked you are already and HOW much trump fucked up your economy, your social structures (what are a joke anyway) and your society.

you want to ignore the world? ok than accept that the world ignores you.
go back to stone age and feel well. but i am pretty sure that the majority of americans will not allow longer this brainless politics.

I hope really that the day will come when a society is strong enough to throw people like you out to africa. than you can show how genius you are and build your own third reich ideocracy there. you can obviously do it better - than do it !

People from outside the US say that ceaselessly regardless of who is president. They said it with Reagan, with Bush, and the US economy is still the largest economy. "The world will move beyond you" is a refrain we hear again and again. Textbooks were declaring the end of US hegemony in 1992.

The US has several distinct topographical advantages that make up for its grave weaknesses.

Two things right now threaten the US in truth. Civil war, and nuclear war. Nothing else. The world needs food, power, safety and money. The US has more of those than anyone else.

If you'd care to go into specific countries that will abandon the US, I can debate you specifically on each country.

while that may be correct if you just look at total numbers, you cannot ignore the huge inequality in distribution in the US

perhaps the most wealthy sweds, norwegians, germans etc are not as wealthy as the most wealthy americans - but you will also not see situations like Skid Row in LA or other homeless hotspots like Philadelphia

And no matter which president in the recent decades - i don't see the willingness to change the culture in general to a more caring society. The general american attitude is "it's your own fault if you are homeless, unemployed, drug addicted etc"

Meanwhile you can see in any other country that takes a more social caring approach, that it benefits the society overall.

The only problem with that is that you need to go outside and talk to real people, the internet has become a place that is to a very large degree an outlet for people detached from the real world and that virtually high five each other the more crass and derogating things you write.

See GFY as prime example.

You migrated because you could get girls to drop their knickers cheaply. The irony.

None of which addresses my post. What does a migrant, unemployed, on minimum wage, on a low wage, doing the job a British man, of any colour, can do? Cost.

Here is what it costs you.

This is what it costs you to have so many leeching off the country. Look at the year, it's been rising steadily since then.

Quote:

In 2012, the British population numbered around 64 million, and the debt, therefore, amounted to a little over Ģ15,000 for each individual Briton or around Ģ33,000 per person in employment. Each household in Britain pays an average of around Ģ2,000 per year in taxes to finance the interest.

Only migrants who can survive without ant help come to Czech.

Quote:

According to the last data point published, the Czech Republic per capita debt in 2016 was 6,795 dollars (Ģ4902) per inhabitant. In 2015 it was 7,144 dollars, afterwards dropping by 349dollars, and if we again check 2006 we can see that then the debt per person was 4,335 dollars.
My argument is purely financial, what's yours based on?

out of that we did not CALL this refugees - ask the ones who are responsable for that.

Does not address my post. What is the cost of all the migrants Merkel allowed in?

do you believe that MORE people result in MORE consumption or do you think that germans will eat double as much as when there is no foreigner in the country ?

do you know that Germany ALREADY is in need of high skilled workers and do you believe that EVERY high skilled worker was born like that?

The last one is interesting. Europe’s new arrivals will probably dent public finances, but not wages That's because they won't be getting jobs. Normally migrants come to work and do effect wages.

Sure the ballers here on GFY get to travel a bit. But the normal working people in Europe? Highly doubt it.

Just watching Anthony Bourdain's CNN show "Parts Unknown" where he travels the world...I saw him in Sicily eating horse with people that was bought on a street market.
Looking at those people...they have never been 5 miles from home, much less 10. lol

It's easy to make fun of the U.S., but not everyone in Europe has a ton of money to go traveling all over the world either.

And I'd say that just as many U.S. citizens who DO have that kind of money travel the world as do Europeans who have the money to travel.

People living week to week trying to take care of their families don't travel internationally.

even worse is that he does not have economic skills. if he would, he would also search for other stats and economic logics.

he calls me dumb an uneducated - why he does not do the same with the IMF (as ONE example) who is full of economic professionals who see it same as i do ?

https://www.theguardian.com/business...economic-boost

are they also uneducated ?
wo than i would like to know why a economic genius like paul can not afford to live in his home country with all his great economic skills. normal he should be already the prime minister there and fix all the british problems with his easy solutions.

but apart from that the word "refugee" is not a word from the economic world. it is a word what describes a HUMAN disaster what can only be resolved by HUMANITY.

all these countries what are refusing to take refugees have signed the same contract as Germany did it. instead of standing to their word they are blaming a country who have this overload BECAUSE they have to handel it alone and without the help from countries who have signed for the same burden.

germany took a few million of this people - much more as it was prepared to take - and yes under this few million have been a few hundred or maybe even a few thousand what would not get in the country under normal circumstances (with help from the ones what signed for it).

the funny thing is that Germany did not only face a relative small number of terror attacks (the US and UK who took near to zero refugees faced MUCH more) - Germany came back from the financial crisis as one of the strongest economies in the world - even better as before.

Germany is facing the lowest unemployment rate since the reunion of east and west.

sure there are still problems - nobody said it is easy - and as I said, it would not be that hard if every other country would stand for what they have signed for.
but Germany will also manage that and will be able to grow AND help AND benefit.

so i really donīt know what he wants to tell us?

if Germany is such a bad example why is is than worldwide in the best condition of all ?

all that show me not only the missing skills about economy it also shows me the ignorance of facts. thatīs why it does not make sense to discuss.

btw: the sentence "Money controls consumption. Not the population." is the best example to show that he does not even have a clue what money is.
i hope his wife can teach him monopoly and when he wins, letīs see wich great idea he have to get consumption.

i searched some number for you

usa citizens travelling abroad (2016) = 37,4 million (aproximately 11% of the populateion)

german citizens traveling aboroad (2016) = 53,4 million (aproximately 62% of the population)

sure that is not representative for whole europe but the interesting part is the following:

citizens of right wing, populist, protectionist countries are travelling same or even less than us citizens.

And I'd say that just as many U.S. citizens who DO have that kind of money travel the world as do Europeans who have the money to travel.

sure that is not representative for whole europe but the interesting part is the following:

citizens of right wing, populist, protectionist countries are travelling same or even less than us citizens.




that would explain why i mainly meet us citizens in europe who hate trump.

A quick question about this. When it comes to Germany do they consider "abroad" as visiting another country, or actually crossing an ocean? I say this because in Europe you can hope a train and go just about anywhere on the continent pretty easily so it isn't hard to visit a lot of different countries, but in the US, not so much.

he calls me dumb an uneducated - why he does not do the same with the IMF (as ONE example) who is full of economic professionals who see it same as i do ?

https://www.theguardian.com/business...economic-boost

are they also uneducated ?
wo than i would like to know why a economic genius like paul can not afford to live in his home country with all his great economic skills. normal he should be already the prime minister there and fix all the british problems with his easy solutions.

but apart from that the word "refugee" is not a word from the economic world. it is a word what describes a HUMAN disaster what can only be resolved by HUMANITY.

all these countries what are refusing to take refugees have signed the same contract as Germany did it. instead of standing to their word they are blaming a country who have this overload BECAUSE they have to handel it alone and without the help from countries who have signed for the same burden.

germany took a few million of this people - much more as it was prepared to take - and yes under this few million have been a few hundred or maybe even a few thousand what would not get in the country under normal circumstances (with help from the ones what signed for it).

the funny thing is that Germany did not only face a relative small number of terror attacks (the US and UK who took near to zero refugees faced MUCH more) - Germany came back from the financial crisis as one of the strongest economies in the world - even better as before.

Germany is facing the lowest unemployment rate since the reunion of east and west.

sure there are still problems - nobody said it is easy - and as I said, it would not be that hard if every other country would stand for what they have signed for.
but Germany will also manage that and will be able to grow AND help AND benefit.

so i really donīt know what he wants to tell us?

if Germany is such a bad example why is is than worldwide in the best condition of all ?

all that show me not only the missing skills about economy it also shows me the ignorance of facts. thatīs why it does not make sense to discuss.

btw: the sentence "Money controls consumption. Not the population." is the best example to show that he does not even have a clue what money is.
i hope his wife can teach him monopoly and when he wins, letīs see wich great idea he have to get consumption.

I'm intelligent to know the word could is will. And that extra government spending needs higher taxes and or higher debt.

germans do not have to cross an ocean to see a VERY other culture.
btw. US citizens donīt have to do that either.
you have a border with latin america on the same continent.

but "far travels" are trendy since many many years.

I can not find numbers right now but I would assume that around 30% of all travelers
go on other continents.

another aspect is that i just told you about the number of travelers and not the number of travels what would be even higher because germanīs have quite a lot of holidays and many of them travel 2 or 3 times per year.

as i personally know a lot of americans what i met in europe, in asia and in the rest of the world I think I can also tell you that the average (travelling) american is something completely else as the group what represents usa here.
the americans i met personally i love and respect a lot.

i was growing up in a generation after WW2 what was mostly formed from american influence. when i was a boy i thought all americans are superman.
and i still WANT TO BELIEVE that the majority of them are because without america the world would not be the same place. many great inventions came from there - even when they where made from immigrants. but the freedom of america and the curiosity of america gave them the chance to do it. this is what i STILL respect this country for.

but the USA are on a dangerous way and there are a lot of things to fix (not only since trump). one of it is the free education what is necessary to give democracy a sense and to let EDUCATED people decide who should lead a country.

this is not the case because in the country who INVENTED modern marketing only a small minority knows what a market is and what the rules of economy are.
in this case (were you should be number 1 in the world) the rest of the world has overtaken america.

even in african countries kids get get this type of education for free. thatīs why african immigrants to the US are among the most educated groups in the usa. 48.9 percent of all african immigrants hold a college diploma what is more than double the rate of native-born white americans, and nearly four times the rate of native-born african americans.

so fix your problems at the roots !

paul you did not bring value you went to exploit and promote your own personal financial agenda...just like illegals...you are the poster boy for "low skilled migrant leech" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The researchers used economic modeling methods, based on local surveys, to simulate the impact of the refugees on the host-country economy within a 10-km radius of the three refugee camps. They found that cash aid to the refugees had a greater positive impact on the host nation's economy than did in-kind food aid.

That's not what you said.

I would agree with you that most Americans are uneducated about what happens outside the US. But they don't go abroad because of the size of America and the holiday options.

Just watching Anthony Bourdain's CNN show "Parts Unknown" where he travels the world...I saw him in Sicily eating horse with people that was bought on a street market.
Looking at those people...they have never been 5 miles from home, much less 10. lol

It's easy to make fun of the U.S., but not everyone in Europe has a ton of money to go traveling all over the world either.

And I'd say that just as many U.S. citizens who DO have that kind of money travel the world as do Europeans who have the money to travel.

People living week to week trying to take care of their families don't travel internationally.

well - at least on mainland Europe it's much easier than in the US - I can travel 5-6 different countries (and cultures) in one day if i wanted to

but on the other hand i have been recently to some small villages in Scotland that probably didn't change much for the last hundreds of years and I now understand better that those people really don't care much about things like gender equality, gay marriage or other "liberal" talking points

And no matter which president in the recent decades - i don't see the willingness to change the culture in general to a more caring society. The general american attitude is "it's your own fault if you are homeless, unemployed, drug addicted etc"

Meanwhile you can see in any other country that takes a more social caring approach, that it benefits the society overall.

I agree with you 100% about wealth inequality. I also agree with you about - mostly - the uncaring attitude.

However, this post was on US global position, not individual wealth and welfare. Note that in Victorian England wealth inequality was even greater, yet this small island ran half the world. Does it produce vulnerability? Yes. For now however, the position of the US is secure do to those attributes listed above.

paul and many other "wise guys" here trying to discuss this topic on the level of a 5 year old because they donīt have a clue of the monetary circulation.

i would really love to see how they get fucked up with their ideas but the problem is that we have only one world and canīt give them a playground where they can learn how wrong they are.

i remember when the tubes came up and paul said that they will not survive.
just another wrong assessment.
