JD Vance flew all that way to visit 150 U.S. troops at Pituffik Space Base who were forced to meet him because not a single local in Greenland wanted to meet him. He only stayed for 3 hours.
Seems like the kind of government waste DOGE should look into.

A Tributum was a tax imposed on Roman citizens to fund the costs of war. The Tributum was set at a higher rate if you were rich - a wealth tax imposed on assets, land, property and moveable goods. Not cuts to the poor.
