        No, we (Aus here) have a King and he doesn’t concern himself with our or England’s finances.

    But Americans healthcare must be slashed, in order to save money after giving the upper class a giant tax break.

    So… What are these two idiots going to do in a few months to a year when the dollar finally crashes under the weight of all the tariffs and other monetary malpractice committed by the fascists?
