I think the military is WAY overbloated and unnecessary to spend all that money on. President Eisenhower himself warned the country against the industrial military complex. I disagree with Trump on the military, and I have never agreed with a "Wall"...including when Congress voted it into existence in 2006 with all the Democrats voting FOR it (the Democrat Party used to stand for the working man).

It used to be that in times of peace, we didn't mortgage the future by spending fortunes on the military. The way things used to work was that the govt. chose between what was called "Guns Or Butter".
Meaning that in times of peace, the govt. would spend money on social issues.

But now? It's "Guns AND Butter" all the time. Which is why we have gotten so far in debt over the past 60 years.

Anyway...I get it. People that hate Trump, hate everything he does.
Just keep ignoring the economy and the affect it is having on families being able to make a good living again.
That's what I voted for. Trump knows what he's doing on the economy and trade.
Trump hasn't managed to get a trade deal with a single country. We are now paying more for pretty much all imported products. Exports are now down because other countries have slapped tariffs on our products. Much of these exports specifically in the food industry will never be regained. This has cost thousands of jobs already.

Added to this, trump tax cuts will add 2 trillion dollars to our deficit yet you think he knows what hes doing..

Are you fucking stupid? Dont answer I already know..
