USA (Trump) pays for 70% of Israeli military. That's $11 million of bombs, ammo, guns, etc. every day. Over 90% homes in Gaza have been destroyed. 20% Gazans killed or mutilated. Families destroyed, children starving. But yeah, give Trump a peace prize.

Here's a good one:

if you save £20,000 a week you'll be a millionaire in a year.
To become a billionaire you need to save ten times as much, that's £200,000 a week, for about 100 years.

The USA pays $32,000 EVERY SECOND in interest on their national debt. It.Is.Not.Sustainable. The system is broken.

De-dollarisation is not a threat to global stability. Countries are simply questioning the rules of a game long rigged in Washington’s favour

USA debt is higher than the combined debt of all the less developed countries combined.
Just saying.

The "tax or cuts" argument is a false dichotomy. It's straight from the austerity playbook.

Labour shamefully cuts welfare.

One of the most equitable ways to issue a sovereign currency is through the welfare system; at least you know that money is created debt-free and will be spent (ie. circulated into the economy), not squirrelled away offshore or into savings.
