I have long been a proponent of our country taking care of it’s own citizens instead of leaving them to rot while we take care of everyone else’s. I don’t suggest we cut ties 100% if it can be helped but I would like to see our Veteran’s, our starving children, our abused citizens, our homeless families, and the like have the same possibility at survival as we’ve given to so many others abroad over the years.

Can you provide evidence of how the introduction of the ‘gag rule’ will affect the ability of your country to take care of it’s own citizens?

I don’t have exact dollar amounts and I don’t think any have been published as of yet. Does your country offer equal amount of assistance as America (in equal ratio to your population), in tax payer dollars, to these causes while taking proper care of it’s people at home?

I wasn’t asking for a dollar amount/ratio - I was asking for evidence of how the gag rule will affect the ability of your country to take care of it’s own citizens.

Have you an answer? - or do you have another deflection?

I do not have enough information to give you a solid answer or the specific answer you seem to be fishing for and I’ve said as much earlier.

So that’s a ‘no’ then, thank you.

No fishing - just asking about your claims in your posts.

Yes, you were fishing. That is why you only answered my question to you with another question … deflection. And they weren’t mine or anyone else’s claims of anything, they are some of the reasons the President has given for why it is happening. I understand the reasoning but I also believe it should not be a 100% gag rule.

FTR, until I have more information and a better understanding of the consequences I will publicly say my answer is, NO.

😃

You’ll need to give me a little time to answer a question I’m not well versed in - and therefore asking questions on.

Though the answer is above.

I most certainly understand the roadblocks involved. I also consider that, in this day and age, people are far more aware due to all the education that was created when such dilemmas arose overseas. Does that knowledge just disappear? Do all those who’ve learned just forget? These are questions I cannot answer but I am glad there are other avenues.

and I then asked ‘Can you provide evidence of how the introduction of the ‘gag rule’ will affect the ability of your country to take care of it’s own citizens?’

Those are your words in your post in reply to a question of mine - not your President’s - not fishing - so don’t try and claim otherwise.
