It has to stop somewhere.

So, suck up folks. It may be a long bumpy ride, but someone has to have the balls to tackle the beast. Some day, we all will thank Trump.

We are leaving the debt for our children. That's irresponsible.

My parents both died debt free. I inherited a little money that can help me retire earlier. I appreciate that.

Now our whole country is leaving a giant debt that the younger generation will have to deal with.

How much are we spending on the military?

If Putin would stop the "Special Military Operation", it would save money for everyone.

About $875 Billion. We're spending $1 Trillion on interest on the debt.

Maybe people can begin to see why we are downsizing the government.

Members of the House of Representatives get re-elected very two years.

Maybe that leads to short term thinking.

I don't like debt. I don't want to have any personal debt and I don't want my country to be in debt.

We both agree debt is bad, but I think we should increase taxes to pay the debt.

You are correct. Either get back to fiscal reality or perish as a

empire. Problem is our population is spoiled rotten, whiny, soft, entitled, mostly caused by 40 plus years of subversion, thinking Marx has the solution. In spite of the contrary historical evidence. I don’t think the American People any longer have the right stuff to take any bumps. The greatest generations are gone or passing on. The replacement is a consumer society caricature. Frankly I think a preponderance of our population is neurotic and psychotic. Certainly narcissism has tended to foster a national unreality. Me me me me me…..

If you cut 90% federal funding and use it to promote the military what do you have ?
