What you say makes sense, but it would be cheaper for taxpayers to put them on welfare imo. Normally a county state or country builds roads etc AFTER prosperity. For example, originally we had dirt roads and three cops in this town.
After excess surplus tax receipts, we build roads and add street lights. The whole country has a $19 trillion national debt. The whole country creating all those jobs in China India etc.
The USA created “a days work for a days pay” in foreign nations, and took all their welfare bums off their streets, and eliminate THEIR food stamp and handouts….and at the same time we rebuilt the OTHER country’s infrastructure instead of ours.
We can’t afford to tax the masses anymore. Its time for foreign nations to rebuild the USA. Not ourselves. And pay for NATO.
