How many borders of other countries does the United States defend? I’m sure none of us really know. We have defended the border of South Korea from North Korea forever, and at what cost? We have already spent $113 billion defending Ukraine’s border with Russia.

What about our borders? Don’t our worthless politicians even care? Protecting us doesn’t matter? They even stopped building our border wall. Why?

If we would stop policing the world, maybe we could solve our own problems. Our national debt keeps going up, and our leaders don’t seem to care. Our senior citizens who need Social Security to survive must be expendable. Otherwise, our leaders would keep some of this money in country and solve this problem. Being a 76-year-old U.S. citizen, how do you think it makes me feel, knowing I don’t count?

In my opinion, all politicians are worthless. The only thing that changes is the faces of those in office.

Protect our border and take care of our people and problems first. Is that so hard?
