The USA gives millions of dollars to these countries... Germany received 10 million from the USA in 2025.

Why does Germany get 10 million and universal healthcare, and we get 0 million and $1000 shots of insulin?

Well, as long as we take care of Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell, that's our number one priority.

    10 million, if true, it only a spit in the ocean. You guys really need to learn to stop blaming other countries for your continued social crisis.

    The US is still the most wealthy country in the world. And it's, I believe, the only Western country in the world without universal healthcare.

    You already have the cash, you just need to decide to spend it in the right way. Every dollar you spend on other countries has a hook embedded in it, just like China does. Believe me, it's not altruistic generosity.

    Yeah, $10m is chump change for a country and even most states. Pretty sure that's how much it costs to repave a mile of my street nowadays. 🤣

    We may have given money to other countries, but the US has also used it's influence to shape the world in it's favor to a much larger self-benefit than few million dollars.

    Germany's population is ~80 million. $10 million isn't nothing, but that's $0.125 per person. We also didn't just, hand them a bag of cash and walk away whistling.

    10 million dollars on the scale of Healthcare is... well about $0.30 per person in the US. Do I need a source to say we spend far more than that? The problem isn't just how much we spend, it's what we get for it, which is mostly rich Insurance companies.
