Those links are all political views.

Beyond the veracity of those numbers, it is a political decision whether or not the US should be spending $150B on foreigners or Americans.

The manner in which that decision is executed is very much a reflection of moral character.

Whose morals? Yours?

And from what I remember, we weren't supposed to force others to follow our morals.

Yes, Harvard and The Lancet are just wildly political.

A proper political decision wouldn't have involved an abrupt rug pull on a bipartisan program that's been operating for the better part of a century.

There's this thing called continuity that's usually taken very seriously. Especially when hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives are hanging in the balance.
