Biden has paid back over 150 billion dollars in student loans. He’s spending over a trillion on US infrastructure, he’s spending hundreds of billions on creating high tech jobs with the chips act and investments in renewable energy. If you’re not happy with that, nothing is going to make you happy.

Also, you have a budget of around 3,500,000,000,000. You can afford to give another country old military equipment.
