You can balance the budget by spending less, maximize how much you get out of your money, and increase economy so it naturally lowers the deficit.
No need to raise taxes to the point people are homeless and business all but disappeared from the face of our nation.
One person's wasteful spending is another person's basic service
Why do you think corporations and big businesses fled overseas from United States under Obama's 8 years?
BECAUSE THE US WASN'T A COMMUNIST PARADISE! DUH!
They are spending on pet project that don't even benefit the citizens 10th.
Just let all these commies take over, and all the companies will come running back to us overnight, just like Venuzuel-oh.
Unless you're calling the defense budget a "pet project" then it's miniscule
Defense Budget isn't a pet project.
Why would you name it a pet project?
Because it's the only thing that adds up to much unless you're targeting Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security.
It's because 10th Cat agrees with Trump. We need to stop being the world police and cut funding, by pulling out of all of our involvements in defending other nations.
Not really, although maybe a little bit Tom
That I can get behind. Only time we should defend another nation is when there is a invasion.
If the nation goes to war, we will not help them.
... Well I'm confused. Do lefties want to cut military spending, or do they want us to deploy more troops and protect the world? Because we can't do both.
That would discourage any nation from going to war with another nation.
I don't speak for all "lefties" by any means
I am a believer in noninterferance
I'm always confused by leftie doublethink. They somehow demand it both ways, and are pissed off when they don't get it.
Only thing we should do is defend a nation that is being invaded, not participate in any nation waging a war against their neighbors.
If they decide to wage a war with their neighbor, they are on their own.
I agree
So does NATO
The last two president fought wars on behalf of other nations.
All our mutual defense treaties are defensive only
That is the reason we are in many wars.
The original nation that declared war on their neighbor just backs out and leaves us with the mess to clean up.
That is why when it comes to the nations we defend, they left a very sour note in my mouth.
Noninterference doesn't only involve military, also funding and weapons play a huge role
What war did Obama get in? We provided some logistical support for the Libya operation, but we didn't have troops on the ground
And we didn't even conquer their land and plunder their resources!
For having the best army, America is not very good at war.
Yes we did Cat. I know
I know, right? It's like the US is just really bad at this whole "biggest army on the planet" thing.
Iraq was a mess Bush started and no one can get out of
... Make me pres. I'll get us outta it in 2 years, tops.
Not what they were talking about, I believe.
@Dusty Morgan not just that, but with them mass importating people they diverted funds that should go do defending themselves toward paying incentives to get more migrants while expecting us to pay everything about defending them (while they call us nazis). As long as we are defending them they feel they are free to do any self harm they want because they will just blame us in the long run anyway
