Gonna call you out on this one, cause I got burned saying the same thing. Can't show where this $ is going overseas. It's mostly pork, but from what I've read, it mostly stays here.
could instantly tell OP was lying/misinformed from 9%. nearly 20-25% of the bill is going directly to the people, is it not? Still tons of pork but this is just as bad as when people claim "0.02% death rate" for covid when it's really 2%. We can't win with false statistics.
Yeah but that is also misleading statistics. Ebola killed most people it infected, but because it only infected some 20k people, using statistics like you did here, it would be a virtually nonexistent death rate so you wouldn't be afraid of it even though there would flat out be a 50% chance you die if you get it.
The official scenario here, ~30 million infections, 500k deaths is a 1.6% death rate, but we know many deaths are not covid deaths, and the infection rate is impossible to figure out because of how bad the metrics they use to count infections is. No numbers we can use are accurate.

Can confirm. If you read the breakdown of the funding almost all of it is allocated domestically.

500k deaths / 330M people = 0.2% dead in one year.
under 65 years old: 80k / 330M = 0.024% under 45 years old: 12k / 330M = 0.0036%

Global average death rate is 2%, or 0.02. Not 0.02% or any other incorrect variation.
US death rate is currently 1.8% or 0.018.
It's the use of % that seems to confuse most on here
The Fed is rigged anyways: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2SL
Yeah I have been the guy telling people that’s it’s generally ok to say anything in order to win.
But this claim is so obviously stupid that we should fact check it.
