Relevant: On paper, red states average more funding per tax dollar they send in compared to blue states. https://www.moneygeek.com/living/states-most-reliant-federal-government/ This is, however, heavily dependent on some creative accounting processes...

"Very Clear" seems to be their current trending buzzphrase.

Translation: You can't actually show what I asked for so you're reverting to a strawman again. I "challenged" it? Bullshit I did. My post literally said we'd have even more benefits without graft. This "challenge" is entirely from your imagination because you can't answer any of my points...

Oh really? Then quote me where I said we couldn't have nice things without graft and corruption. I accurately pointed out that advanced technology usable by the private sector come from the MIC and you immediately strawmanned me as claiming we needed graft when I did no such thing and actively...

Pretty sure both of those had a Military Industrial Complex, though. We're looking for somewhere that doesn't have any military contracts or government grants for military research but still manages modern USA levels of technological innovation.

More strawmen. I don't and have never defended graft. If the word shows up in your post, you're already strawmanning me. I pointed out that the technology from military R&D does in fact trickle down and benefit the civilian sector, with a long list of examples ranging from tampons to the...

Because my claims are correct. I never brought up Trickle Down economics, I pointed out that the technology developed does trickle down, and provided a lengthy list of examples. Your position regarding trickle down conomics was a strawman since I did not endorse trickle down economics. Because...

Yes, so? That's not the only post you responded to and quoted, is it? Did that post have the words "Trickle Down" that so triggered you? No? So you're posting a strawman. Also, you're ignoring that I was responding to an actual discussion of multiple posts, not just that specific one...

Trickle Down economics has absolutely nothing to do with what I posted. You apparently fixated entirely on the word "trickle" and ignored the actual content given this complete derail. Again, you appear not to have read the post at all. I haven't praised graft, I've said I dislike that part...

Easy to claim an alternate reality would support your position, harder to prove it. Nations without government aid programs and a solid military-industrial complex do not appear to be at the forefront of innovation in our world, though. Nor do we really see private corporations innovating much...

While I do dislike the corruption myself, it's worth noting that the R&D spent on military tech does trickle down to the Civilian sector and provides wide benefits. Some of them are surprisingly weird. Did you know undershirts are one such? They're called "crewnecks" because the Navy had...

Yeah, I researched it a bit. The money goes to the defense contractors, the US government doesn't see any of it. No Federal budgets have any weapons sales listed as income, only taxes. If they mention where the money goes at all, news articles always say it goes to American companies or...

Honestly, "Affordable" and "Advanced fighter craft that is competitive on the modern battlefield" seem pretty mutually exclusive.

If Biden blinks he'll lose his place on the teleprompter, no demon possession needed to explain his focus there.

It's worth noting, giving every black Californian 200 million dollars would require more wealth than the entire economic output of humankind. Note I didn't say this year, I mean more wealth than has been produced in all of human history.

Quit being so stingy. They want 200 million.

He doesn't want you thinking about that. The strategy of presenting three options, two of which are horrid, to make it seem like your preferred one is the only viable choice is an old and reliable con artist trick. Anybody who tries to tell you there are only a handful of possible options for...

So president Hunter Biden?
