you sound confused. taxpayer money should be sent abroad but people that can't work because of covid get nothing? its THEIR money.

Sure, it's 'their money' but to be used for state business. Taxing the citizens and then giving that same money back to them is ridiculous. Not to mention, it's not entirely the citizen's money, as most of it is just raw debt. TLDR the other items serve domestic and foreign policy needs, the welfare is just a pointless handout.

not in a crisis. thats the whole point of saving money. to have a reserve in a case of emergency.

lol it's not a crisis - its a government ordered shutdown of businesses. The right choice for the government was to not shutdown at all, and only close borders to external travel.

Those foreign countries all serve America's foreign policy interests - Egypt for example is a valuable ally in the Middle East, as Ukraine is a bulwark against Russia. It's very good to see arts funding, though it should be focused more on creators (and favour aesthetic art over degenerate art). The American 'people' should get nothing and instead should find themselves a job. The government is not a piggy bank.
