So I get two empty replies. No disagreements just empty replies challenging common sense. Yes Utah I donated money. Give me one good reson though that says spending money abroad is a better idea than helping out other Americans. Why there is even people that question this is annoying.
The short version:
The US economy is completely dependent upon a global supply chain.
Trade is completely dependent on security.
Global Security as regards liberalized trade is completely dependent upon the US military and in a couple of cases, the money we pay Saudi Arabia not to go to war with Iran and Egypt and Israel not to go to war with each other.
The removal of this linchpin of security means that the worlds critical vulnerability spins out of order...
Which means that the global economy goes into a tailspin that makes 2008/2009 look like a friggin sunshine picnic....
And destroys the global supply chain....
Destroying the US economy...
Meaning that most jobs which are directly or indirectly dependent upon global trade are gone and will not be replaced...
Which means that a large portion of Americans now have to figure out how to feed themselves...
Except that we haven't farmed as a people for a couple of generations....
Which means that we will suck at it...
Which means that many of us will likely starve, and many more of us will barely make it.
OH. And nuclear war becomes a near - inevitability. Though it likely won't hit our shores, but still kill millions (again, both directly and indirectly).
That's Why spending that money is a good idea.
