If you are worried about The Debt (and you should be) Forget looking at The Defense. Look where The Real Money is..Entitlements.

Wrong. Abolish every agency not authorized by the Constitution. Start with the EPA, environmental “protection” agency, started by an executive order by Nixon. The Education Department which does nothing. the Legal Services Corporation which sued the congress to continue its worthless existence—and won!.
Remember the Declaration of Independence?
This was in the Declaration:He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
We are currently a thousand times worse. We are doomed. Who will save us? Certainly not the clowns currently in congress who refuse to see the writing on the wall.

The administrative state serves no one but their continued employment. Why send a dollar to Washington to get a cent in return? God help us.

Forget the entitlements. Since 2020 there has been something like 8-10 trillion in NEW government spending. Biden and Senate republicans spent around 4 trillion in new spending between the inflation reduction bill and the infrastructure bill.

Or just tax the billionaires. Tax the liberal churches. Tax college endowments. End the carried interest deduction. Tax corporations on worldwide income. 70% tax on remittances, to start. There are lots of ways to solve the problem but the politicians are bought off.

contributed.That’s where the loss is !
