I would prefer some points about recalling our troops from Europe and Asia and end the quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan. We could spend a lot less on defense if we just defended ourselves.

That sounds awfully isolationist, you want ISIS to take over Iraq?

Non-interventionist actually. Russia is handling it, let it be done with rubles and Ivan's blood. The fact of the matter is if we're going to avoid economic destruction in the United States we have to illuminate a lot of things we spend money on and cut everything else that we spend money on by half. That includes defense. All of our allies have a large modern capable armies. They can take care of themselves.
 
Then you should listen to Trump


Trump, in Philly, calls Clinton 'trigger-happy,' 'unstable'

"Three words should be at the center of our foreign policy, always: 'Peace through strength,' " Trump said during a 33-minute speech at the Union League in Philadelphia, which was interrupted frequently by applause from an audience of supporters.

Trump said the foreign policy legacy of President Obama and Hillary Clinton, his opponent and the former secretary of state, is "failure and death."

"Sometimes it seemed like there wasn't a country in the Middle East that Hillary Clinton didn't want to invade, intervene in, or topple," Trump said. "She is trigger-happy and very unstable - whether we like it or not, that's what's going on."

Clinton, as a senator from New York, supported the invasion of Iraq and also was a proponent of the policy to overthrow the Qaddafi regime in Libya, both of which Trump said have spread instability around the region and helped allow Islamic State to rise.

Trump is sounding more and more like a typical Republican: raise military spending, cut everyone's taxes,
who cares about deficits.
 
The deficit will be lowered by cutting out wasteful useless libtard spending.

Wrong. Look at the federal budget - defense spending, Medicare, social security.

Kasich was the only who mentioned cutting any of that and people responded like he was ******* crazy.

Kinda true, but not completely. Specifically, social security has been in the black and will continue to be in the black until 2020:

I will admit that a significant part of the profit is from "interest" generated when the government buys its own debt and pays that interest to itself, but still - social security will not be a revenue-eater for a few years.

Im gonna throw the bullshit flag on that one. If they have to do Enron style accounting then there aint nothing there.

SSI has always been a Ponzi Scheme and the pyramid started to collapse a while ago.

You are incorrect about the social security surplus. The government for decades has taken the SS surplus and spent it.

That was Gore's entire "lock box" argument.

I read somewhere that we are borrowing money to pay SSI benefits now. I know they have raided SSI for years and put worthless special bonds in place of the money that they took out. This is why I am a proponent of privatizing it and putting it someplace where congress can't get its grubby hands on it. Well that and the fact that nothing in the US Constitution authorizes the Congress to run a Ponzi Scheme.

I'd feel better about SS and Medicare projections if they hadn't recently significantly raised the FICA limit and added an additional kicker for salaries over $200k. I think the limit for 2017 is going up another $8k to $126k. It was under $100k not long ago.
 
Trump killed her in the Town Hall tonight, despite that little liberal midget Matt Lauer doing his best to rig it in Hillary's favor. **** Matt Lauer.
