The problem with this kind of populist behavior is the mentality that threatens the US dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. The US constantly exports its massive deficits to the world, and the global economy, in general, isn't in good shape at all. Russia, China, Iran, and even zee Germans are trying to reduce their reliance on the US dollar.
One can understand their concerns, as the US is spending extravagantly, and this handout is a good example of that. The loss of reserve status would cause more damage than an atomic bomb to New York.
I'm starting to think that some people are disillusioned with the USA and believe it's making poor decisions. The USA's aggressive policies towards Russia and China indicate that it wouldn't let go without a fight. This wouldn't bode well for the world. I can imagine the real reason for a global world war would be fueled by the USA's grip on power versus cooperation among authoritarian regimes.
Corrupt politicians are implementing policies to the degree that an enemy wouldnt succeed in weaking the usa.
handouts, a shift towards inclusivity from excellent meritocracy that brought once brilliant Arnold came running to usa, and promoting LGBTQ+ rights over sane family values, tribalism over citizenship.
I hope usa shapes up, as the new world order wont be pretty.
