Do you really think america cares about paying debts? you actually think china will ever come collect these "debts" and plunge the world into ww3? those certain industries would help feed millions of american people, who would intern spend their hard earned money in their communities, boosting the economy.
If we don't pay our debts, dollar value will depreciate in the world market causing inflation of prices for us Americans.
The ignorance in your comment is over 9000 lol
Actually the dollar has already lost alot of value even bwelow the euro. Ever tried buying a premium? Its supposedto be 5 euros but in american dollars its close to seven dollars
TO declare war a president needs congress approval, please go to school. the president doesn't need approval to execute a military strike(which he was pushing for)
America has been in debt for as long as we've been a country and you're saying that the economy can't run as long as we have debt? America only starting failing we we started mass outsourcing jobs. you can thank NAFTA for that
Well value of money always fluctuates depending on factors such as economy.
Wrong. The President has to go through Congress first, that's law. If congress says no, that means he can override their decision BUT only after he goes through congress. That's why he's the Commander and Chief.
Slimreaper all you are is a contrarian that goes against what everyone else is saying nd you dont even know why. Like your comments with SAGE that are just you negating everything hes saying. You dont deserve an appropriate answer. However let me school you son. The constitution of the United States allows the president to start a war and it doesnt say that he needs to ask congress. Its obvious with the Afganistan and Iraq war. . . and the gulf war and the vietnam war. Got it.
So that means that asking congress is just a courtesy. Their not really asking just going through a petty ceremony in their minds
From the college dude that said that a missile would cost ".003" cents to the american citizens. Lets not forget that "thats a bit less than a dollar".
Well yeah, when you consider we would hypothetically use about 200-300 of them
.003 cents is not a logical price quantity unless the unites states is hoping to pay their missiles with scrap metal from every citizen
No I'm saying a Tomahawk missile to build and fire costs $1 million. And since many people complain that America cannot afford intervention, I was pointing out the taxpayer burden per missile is $1 mil / 300 mil people = .003 cents, if in fact the American public were shouldering the whole burden for missile production (which they wouldn't). That's all.
Congress holds the power to declare war. As a result, the president cannot declare war without their approval. However, as the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, many presidents have sent troops to battle without an official war declaration (ex. Vietnam, Korea). The 1973 War Powers Act attempted to define when and how the president could send troops to battle by adding strict time frames for reporting to Congress after sending troops to war, in addition to other measures.
