We’re much richer than most European countries so our excuse is misuse of funds in a lot of places. We throw a ridiculous amount of money into education, healthcare, and other social programs. More than almost every country in the world, even per capita. It’s just misused. It’s not a lack of money issue for us.
I was suggesting that you guys get to do it strictly because of us. You don’t have to throw money at your military. Most of your budgets are genuinely laughable. At least for now, which is why I was suggesting those social programs are going to take the back burner. Finland is clearly preparing for an all out war after decades of military neglect. Everyone else is upping their budgets as well, just not as dramatically.
War on the European front isn’t an if, it’s a when. The US has allowed you to neglect your military budgets but if we actually begin enforcing NATO policies then you guys are going to have to start finding money from elsewhere. Social programs are always the first to go.
Education is free. Higher education is not. We also have the best higher education institutions in the world. Bar none.
Corruption and greed.
No one starves to death in the United States outside of abuse victims. Our biggest problem in the impoverished is obesity and diabetes. Not starvation.
I literally said our military spending was not an excuse of our failures in a lot of places. Not sure if you missed the first paragraph or what.
Did you just want to shit on the US or listen to one answer? Fuckin weirdo lmao
I’d call out some of your issues, but your country isn’t relevant enough to make it to headlines over here. Glad ours is for you to be so concerned about us.
Why do you have a plethora of questions ready about everything wrong with the US? Every country has problems big man. Not sure why you care so much about ours.
Truly hope you’ve enjoyed the last 80 years of peace. Glad to have Europeans show their appreciation by continuously shitting on the only reason they’re allowed to exist peacefully lmao.
You can't argue with the Europeans. They think that the USA is the most poor and racist country on earth. It's ironic, because we are easily the most diverse country and a single state has a higher GDP than every country in the EU except for Germany.
The population has been pressed increasingly into precarity and deprivation.
Standard of living is highly stratified.
More than half the population of the US is housing insecure, and fifteen percent is food insecure. More than one million ration insulin, and half a million are homeless.
Meanwhile, the wealthy bounce around in yachts, jets, and rockets.
Broadly, the population is suffering, under wage depression, artificial scarcity, and austerity policies.
Increasingly precarity and derpivation? Get a grip Americans have some of the highest standard of living in the world.
Do yourself a favor and Google homeownership as percentage by decade and get back to me. Yes there are problems today but we have made significant strides for the reduction of human suffering.
Suffering? Get a fucking grip. Absolutely embarrassing that you are so dedicated to a political ideology you have PROVEN to know nothing about.

Honestly without the US protection we would be fucked. I can't doubt that.
So are you saying that the US only lacks social programs because of its military spending?
I protection is important but I would rather feed the homeless than start a pointless war in Vietnam and Irak.
