You don\u2019t take from anybody that\u2019s been promised. My parents are in their 80s. We take care of them. I don\u2019t want anybody bothering theirs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut my kids are in their 20s. We go to them and we say, \u2018The rules have changed for you.\u2019 We change their benefits to where it reflects life expectancy. We say \u2026 we are going to limit what is given to the wealthy. We\u2019re going to expand Medicare Advantage Plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She summed up the domestic scene the way many folks see it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t even have to look at the news but you feel how bad everything is. You feel it at the grocery store. You feel it in our schools. You feel it when you\u2019re walking around. You see it when you look at the banking system. It\u2019s bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m running for president because when I look at all of that, something has to give. We are $31 trillion in debt. We are borrowing money just to make interest payments and the spending is out of control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And she didn\u2019t hesitate to include her party as one of the responsible ones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s easy for us to blame [President Joe] Biden. But I\u2019ve always been a truth-teller to you and I\u2019ve always told you the truth even when it hurts. Our Republicans did that to us too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou go back and you look at that Covid stimulus bill with no accountability whatsoever\u2014$2.2 trillion that they passed that expanded welfare. We now have 90 million Americans on Medicaid. Forty-two million Americans on food stamps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd look at what they did. They paid people to sit on the couch.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5179257\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/04\/07\/id5179257-20230406_172330-1200x1600.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Shannon Amick (L) and Marsha Gunter, both of Lexington, S.C., waiting for former governor Nikki Haley to speak on April 6, 2023.

She ticked off millions that have gone to local projects like horse racing in Arizona, an honors college in Vermont, and a courthouse in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not how you want your money spent. That\u2019s not how I want my money spent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey say Republicans and Democrats don\u2019t agree on anything. They do agree on wasting our money. They have no problem doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haley brought that theme to her analysis of foreign affairs, with the perspective her two years as the Trump administration\u2019s UN ambassador has given her.<\/p>\n<p>She supports Ukraine, admires the courage with which the Ukrainians have fought against the Russian invasion, and thinks the United States should do what it can\u2014short of boots on the ground\u2014to support it with money and arms.<\/p>\n<p>She added that Ukraine had been one of the United States\u2019 most loyal allies in the UN.<\/p>\n<p>That can\u2019t be said of countless countries worldwide that receive American assistance while opposing us in the United Nations, Haley said.<\/p>\n<p>She told a story about her UN tenure:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, we were condemned by the world. I was so mad because America can put its embassy anywhere we want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always in the host nation\u2019s capital, and Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, she said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5179271\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/04\/07\/id5179271-20230406_173017-1200x900.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Carter Senf, 17, (L) and his dad Steve Senf of Gilbert, S.C., at Nikki Haley\u2019s campaign speech on April 6, 2023.

And he lost his mind. And I said to him, \u2018I\u2019m not saying you give foreign aid based on a percentage vote, but that should be one of the things we look at.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haley was forthright about who she considers American adversaries: Russia, Iran, North Korea, and, most of all, China.<\/p>\n<p>She noted some recipients of foreign aid:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey gave it to Pakistan, who harbored terrorists that tried to kill our soldiers. They gave it to Iraq who\u2019s infiltrated now with Iranians who say \u2018Death to America.\u2019 They gave it to Zimbabwe, the most anti-American African country. They gave it to Belarus, who\u2019s holding hands with Russia in the fight against Ukraine. They gave it to communist Cuba, who we said was a sponsor of terrorism. And yes, are you ready, they gave money to China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will stop paying money to countries that hate America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other budget-balancing measures she advocated included clawing back hundreds of billions of dollars in unspent Covid relief money, going after Covid money spent fraudulently, firing the 87,000 new IRS agents the Biden administration is hiring, and stopping welfare program payments to illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had to balance a budget as your governor in South Carolina. You\u2019ve got to balance the budget at home. You have to balance [the budget] in your businesses. There is no reason Congress can\u2019t balance a budget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour families don\u2019t deserve what you\u2019re dealing with right now.
