No money to help make healthcare more affordable and accessible.
No money to help deal with the burgeoning mental health care crisis in the US.
No money to help shore up and strengthen Social Security and Medicare for American retirees.
No money for improving and expanding care for American veterans.
No money for education or programs like Head Start or free school lunches for American school kids.
No money for American pediatric cancer research.
No money to reduce gun violence or the proliferation of guns in our society, the leading cause of death of American children.
No money to actually fix the nation's fixable immigration problems.
No money to help Americans recover from natural disasters.
The list goes on...
But boy, if you're an ambitious, authoritarian autocrat butt-buddy of Donald Trump, all you have to do is ask, and $20 billion in American taxpayer cash is yours for the taking:

The Trump administration is negotiating a financial lifeline for Argentina, seeking to stabilize its currency and prevent broader economic fallout.
Such an extraordinary intervention might seem like an odd choice for the Trump administration, whose “America First” agenda calls for a more hands-off approach to foreign affairs. But it starts to make some sense (ideologically, at least) when you view the effort through a global MAGA lens: It’s one wealthy, far-right leader helping out his like-minded, loyal pal.
Here’s the deal: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday that the US would extend a $20 billion swap line — exchanging US dollars for pesos to help stabilize Argentina’s financial markets — and potentially scoop up Argentine government debt."
Finally a mainstream news headline that conveys an actual truth.
Drumpf isn't handing over $20 billion in US taxpayer money to bail out the nation and people of Argentina. No, this money will be used to bail out one of DonOld's right-wing political allies because that ally profusely kisses his ass in public and has based his own right-wing governing style on that of Drumpf, which is ironic considering it was that governing style that has led to Argentina's economic collapse.
The US shouldn't be giving so much as one cent to Milei's corrupt and incompetent authoritarian government, and Drumpf should be, but won't be ashamed at handing American's tax money to one of his failed, fascist ass-kissing friends.
