GOP Senator Says Giving Trump $200 Billion To Fight Foreign Wars Is ‘America First’

When these people talk about "America" they're talking about themselves. They're not talking about you, and the that's because they don't care about you.

Lindsay Graham is [up by 20% in early NYT projections](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/polls/south-carolina-us-senate-election-polls-2026.html) of the November 2026 election. He's forecasted to win, and by a wide margin. The reality is that Americans won't remember in November, certainly not South Carolinians. The truth is your country is broken. For too long, Americans assumed their empire was the exception to every rule of history. "There's no way we'll fall to degeneracy and cultural disharmony like the Western Romans; We can't devolve into civil war like the Inca; We won't be torn apart by foreign influence like the Mughals; We'd never collapse due to systemic corruption like the Qing." Turns out, America will suffer from every imperial cause of death, simultaneously. That's the price of arrogance and exceptionalism. It was ever thus. So no, ya'll won't remember, I'm afraid.

Make sure you ask the right questions for your candidate.

If you have any morals. These people don't.

Not to mention we're already spending $1T on Defense before this supplemental.

But the ACA was from Obama's presidency. Trump would rather wipe his ass with $35 billion than keep anything from Obama's administration. Even Obama aside, Trump would rather wipe his ass with $35 billion than do anything to help poor people.

War is Peace

Right it's basically saying "We're isolationists by being global interventionists."

.. seen a lot of restraint from Dems on reducing military spend..?

And maybe American healthcare and education.
