You conveniently forgot the role of GWBush in that debt and Reagan , he almost tripled the debt. A really great pattern Reagan set.

Like I said, you are a fool as to the cause of the debt and will never solve it until you acknowledge it.

Your insistence for more spending on the military is the problem....just like all others insistence for spending on their pet projects are too.

You ridicule the very thing you engage in....SPENDING other peoples money. Originally Posted by WTF

I think we both believe the deficit and the debt should be addressed but we disagree on what we should spend money on. We all agree that some tax is required to run the government but how much and what they should be spending it on is the question. I think SS, medicare, medicaid and other so called entitlements need to be reformed. I don't believe the military should be downsized or cut at this time. We have been at war for 15 years or so and our military is in desperate need of repair and maintenance. IMO, the defense of this country should be the number one priority of any administration and to do that we need a strong military. Like it or not we are still the ultimate defender of the free world. Not Germany. Not Japan. Damn sure isn't the UN. There is talk of another trillion going to infrastructure. What fuck happened to the trillion obama was supposed to put into infrastructure? You know all those shovel ready jobs he sold you on. The debt and deficit problem we have falls on congress. Both fucking parties. These motherfuckers spend money like it is a never ending supply. I doubt it will ever be addressed. At least not in my lifetime. Until we can get term limits on all of congress this will never be taken seriously. As soon as one of these pricks makes it to congress they spend half their time worrying about getting reelected. If they new that was not a lifetime job maybe they would start attacking the root causes of our debt and deficit.

Just not defense spending. Which is a necessity. But for other entitlements, Medicare and whatever else they want to spend it on. . Originally Posted by bambino

Be political death to give the majority of tax cuts to the wealthy and the next year cut benefits for the middle class and poor. Which seems to be wtf you are advocating.

A waste of lives and money and destabilized that region to this day. But the military did win WWII. If they didn’t, we would be Nazis now. But to put our volunteer military in harms way without the best and overwhelming equipment is immoral. So, you can look at two ways, peace through strength, or conflict from weakness. You should applaud Trump. He was against the Iraq war. He doesn’t want nation building. He wants to project American power and not have to use it. That saves lives and money in the long run. And just quit the stupid liberal talking points about tax cuts for the rich on the backs of the poor. That’s just false and retarded. Do you walk around Houston with a Pelosi mask on.

In fact this concept of this huge expense of a standing military came about in the 1950's and was wtf Ike warned us about with his ''Vast military industrial complex '' speech.

Your dumbass has taken that to mean we can morally transfer taxpayer funds to the benefit of that vast industrial complex. You have retired Generals lobbying for the Defense contractors who make over 100k a year in taxpayer funded benefits while they lobby for taxpayers to spend more and more on Defense , it is a vicious cycle scared little girls like you will not speak out against.

People like JDCornhole who used the military not to defend this country but to get an free education and is still one of the dumbest SOB I've ever seen post. Total waste of taxpayers money.

I'm not against the military, I'm against buying off the military vote. That is all Trump has done with his increase spending on the military. It has become just another welfare program.

True patriots would need no bribes to defend their country. We should have a draft where everyone serves and then everyone get free healthcare so you have healthy people to call back to service if you are in a war.
