06-09-2017 (2) Not my money

Heard this morning "No Argument" about spending money on "People's Interest" to serve the people.
My response: This is not about my money. Public servants are government officials in China, in Britain or in US. They all have each government's Federal Reserve or equivalent to spend on people's interests. It is their jobs to protect private wealth to be spent lawfully as owners' own wish.

Why this need a military personnel, retired or not, to state "No Argument".
My response: From Chinese slang.  In ancient China, a military personnel means "never educated and can not read which certainly means no way to understand anything that is close to reasoning". So, "No arguments" means it is just wasting of your own time and energy to argue but get irritated or agitated.

Possible questions: "Will that have any impact on the matters being broadcast-ed this morning?"
My response: "Other than make this person who is an IVY college graduated feel stupid, I  would say that certainly nothing would be impacted by this "featured slang expression".
