Do you honestly believe Biden could arbitrarily cut “a few years worth” of military defence spending? The same country’s military defence spending that protected your country from Japanese invasion 80 years ago?
If only Biden would get off his ass and fix all of the world’s problems. Lazy bastard.
This is where you pretend to not know the history of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), and the struggle to get Medicare for All. Universal health care still hasn't cured cancer, why? Argh, Biden!
The Brits changed and adapted as a society because liberal democracy allowed them to do it. The signing of the Atlantic Charter and the UN brought an end to the age of empires, it just took awhile to die. Both America and Britain used soft power as well as hard power with the balance steadily shifting to soft power. The cold war intervened in the dissolution of the British and French empires, the French went down harder than the brits, the Suez crises put an end to that shit in the 1950's. America has been an economic empire, but now controls only about 20% of the global economy, it's not so much them going down, as everybody else being lifted up. The worlds poorest people have seen the biggest economic gains and the west has been stagnant, it is the great global leveling and it's been happening for awhile.
Man, you will never get a parking space at Walmart's then.
Here in the US we have three coequal branches of government. While Joe Rob, as the Executive would love to spend more money on social services, the legislature is where the checks gets written. The GOP have fifty (half of the) seats in the Senate and it takes sixty votes to do anything, so nothing gets done. But if for some reason the GOP were to let something good pass, the judiciary (Supreme Court) would still have veto power.
It cures lots of cancers though. Also makes it much more comfortable for cancer patients and also much , much, much, like extremely inexpensive for the heavy pain killers those in end of life need.
Of cause not. I wasn't the one to bring up cancer now was I? America couldn't do that even if they wanted to its much to much of a military society. But they could easily cut a nice chunk of it and still spend more than the rest of the world combined. But lets fantasise for a sec and imagine if he could and did and was successful? Be one hell of a legacy for the old man.
Do you think that something as simple as making voting compulsory would slow or even halt the decline? My reasoning is that then the silent majority would be forced to be listened to.
I thank you.Of cause not. America couldn't do that even if they wanted to its much to much of a military society. But they could easily cut a nice chunk of it and still spend more than the rest of the world combined. But lets fantasise for a sec and imagine if he could and did and was successful?

Do you get taught that Japan was gong to invade Australia in school? I find it hard to believe you would, i certainly wasn't when i did WW2 History. There was no real plans for Japan to invade Australia- that's just fact. It was used as propaganda. If Japan was going to invade Australia why didnt Australia recall its armies overseas? Yes, fresh American troops helped us in Papa new Guinea and other islands and was a godsend for the islanders. Shame China is now chasing them after we have ignored their problems for years. Would of been lovely if America had of gotten involved earlier but at least they did get involved- thank the Japs for that, shortened the European war by at least a year.
But yea..a tiny little spec of a country trying to invade such a huge one? Not easy. Huge supply line with multitudes of problems not just in its length. What do you recon would of happened when our well blooded armies came back from Europe and Africa?
"Japan never seriously intended to invade Australia, a fact known to the Australian Government by mid-1942 and confirmed by intelligence reports, principal historian to the Australian War Memorial, Peter Stanley, said yesterday at a conference examining the events of 1942."

I've always found it strange that Americans on social media are always wanting to be thanked for something their parents or grandparents did. I've never heard an Australian asking to be thanked by the English or the French etc. Perhaps that's one of the reasons we are treated so differently overseas. Americans also tend to conveniently forget that in every war they have had since WW2 Australians have been involved. And we dont ask to be thanked either.
I'm not so sure of that. Being involved in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan has also made us nearly as guilty as America. We don't seem to learn..
You've always stood on the right side of history

Give them a $100 dollar check when they come to vote, the poor and the young will vote the most, the republicans would shit a brick.
There's nothing standing in his way. Biden could declare Universal healthcare with the stroke of a pen. Dang Biden!
Valid point, for sure.
I think in true patriotic fashion you are supposed to say Dang Brandon
He seems to have dementia, is that not an issue in America where their president is concerned?It seems that most Americans don't like Biden as recent polls show.
Poll: Biden's job approval falls to new low as Dems struggle to pass popular agenda (yahoo.com)
They, supposedly your Average American, like his agenda & support most of it, except the cost.
But they don't like Biden.
Huh?
I don't get it, what the fuck did he do wrong?
Afghanistan?
Like Trump would have done better?
Sorry for the dead soldiers, but shit like that happens in Afghanistan & they were soldiers that signed up for that job.
Anyway, Biden FINALLY got us out of that shit show, something that should have happened a long time ago.
So, what's the beef?
The Pandemic?
Inflation?
The price of gas?
Drought?
Forest fires?
A high Dow Jones?
Oh yea?
I got it!!!!
It's wearing a mask or getting a vaccination!!!
That's why he sucks, right?
Fucking idiots.
What's your opinion of Bidens presidency.
I think he would be doing a better job if the GOP would get the fuck out of the way & he wasn't left a pile of shit/debt by Trump.
I don't think there's anyone better out there than him at least
I like him
Joe Rob stutters, so a lot of what you see on right wing "news" shows that looks like he is searching for a word is him trying to say the word. He seems pretty damn smart to me. But that might just be in comparison to the last guy. That guy is a fucking idiot.
Every year you wait will make it harder. Perhaps making voting compulsory or as LED suggested pay people to vote (Thats Capitalism isnt it?) would make it easier.
