The BIG Bad we face is growing national debt and inability to pay obligations such as social security and medicare without further increasing the debt.

Solution?
1) We must grow the economy so the debt is a smaller percentage of the total.
2) We must not create any new PONZI schemes... and that is exactly what Social Security and Medicare are...PONZI schemes.
3) We must not extend the current PONZI schemes to immigrants...to new constituencies.

4) Do we cut benefits to those already in the PONZI scheme?
5) How much of WASTE, FRAUD, ABUSE and non-WFA programs can we cut to avoid an impossible total debt?

Again, interesting - and I agree with much - disagree with a little. Our debt is not a small deal - and lots of our enemies are poised to take advantage if they can jump into a worst case scenario. Speaking of national debt - Warren Buffett's group is dumping a lot of bank stocks...

That said, I feel our best chance is to stick with Trump, go with tariffs but start at a lower rate and bring them up as a 'factor of' something or other... to not spook markets. Thanks for the reply...
