You're not.

Yes, I am laughing at you

Nice way to self-identify as an imbecile.

Sigh. It's just the old Republican slight of hand. Claim you'll lower the deficit then cut income tax from the rich, raise taxes on the working class via tariffs, and shell out record amount of cheddar cheese government money to the military industrial complex driving up the deficit. How stupid do they think people are? Obviously he knows how stupid they are.

If you’re not being the “world’s policeman”, why do you need this bloated military?

That’s because the MIC runs the country

A lot of people are rich because of the military/industrial complex. If there is a nasty war where many Americans die, I hope those involved are hunted out from the survivors.

Yep, more stupid spending, they are no different than those they complain about.

But it was just fine for President Biden to want to spend a little over a trillion on his defense budget?

Militarized Funding in Biden Budget Totals Well Over $1 Trillion (and it will grow)

Left wingers see a tax cut as reducing the amount someone should pay in what the Left deem that person should owe.

Right wingers see a tax cut is allowing a person to keep more of their money they worked for.

Because missile defense is EXPENSIVE and the latest skirmishes have shown how important having an effective missile defense from Arrow to Patriot 3 missile defense is vital to National security. Especially with so many rogue nations and militant Muslim factions everywhere. We can detect the missiles but do very little about them except in a small area. And these Rogue Muslims/Communists absolutely don't care about hitting military targets....they target civilians.

We also need a more effective Navy with more ships. Boats cost money. Shipping lanes are needed for a stable global economy.

Also, the soldiers are needing pay raises. Not just $5,000 hammers or $8,000 toilet seats. But actual cash in their pay.

This is all about protecting civilian lives...like yours.
So....any other questions?

You can’t cut taxes in an environment where the outflows are $2T more than inflows… Unless you are a republican. You need to raise taxes or cut the budget. Budget can’t be cut but taxes can be raised.

There is evidence that tax cuts can stimulate economic growth. Look at the UK, shite Labour have hammered tax increases, businesses closing, increasing unemployment, and poor business investment. After Biden, the American's pockets need all the help they can get.

In the modern history of America that has never happened. Every tax cut leads to huge increases in debt - no one even argues that anymore. In fact.. what company in America is lowering prices so that they can earn more money? Practically no one - you’d have to dig deep to find some outlier. Cuz that doesn’t work. It is common sense. Yet, you really really want to believe that fiscal irresponsibility is sound because you don’t want to have to think about why you support a group that preaches fiscal responsibility but then drives up huge deficits. You can’t argue Trump did anything but that even without covid. This years budget is a disaster.
