Exactly! Why would we stoop to helping anyone anywhere with anything when that money could be safely parked in an oligarch's account!?!? (overseas, out of sight, of course)

We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I see you didn't actually watch the video.
Yes, it's all culture war slop. "Elon Musk is the best!"
I'd much rather thousands of dollars of my taxes go overseas to provide art & culture, then billions going overseas as bombs dropped on Palestinian children. But that's just me. I'll always prioritize culture over murder.
They're slashing USAID and feeding us the BS that these tax dollars are "better spent on Americans", but they won't be spent on the working class. Ever. They'll go to defense contractors or Trump's buddies. I watched the video, and I want my 2 minutes back.
Who do you think works for the defense contractors?
Called building goodwill. Influence over power
Also called waste of taxpayer's money.
Did anyone actually know that the US govt was funding the musical? Were they credited? Because it just sounds like they were pissing away taxpayer money.
