The military spending is what gets me, how much less should it be?
At what point do we balance being invaded for our nice things vs. being safe to have nice things and a society, to make long term plans for investments and marriage, children. As you can see by current events, other nations are not afraid to role tanks through and kill everyone. American is accused of this and its used a guilt to have less spending on it. I think they are assholes looking for an edge and are butt-blasted like a P99 raider guild is when they can't get their pixels.

Hell republicans if given the chance would love to bust up teacher's unions in public schools (perhaps even doing away with public schooling altogether). The cost of school just isn't the same as what Boomers and Gen X paid. It really is too bad as you get older you get more conservative and fear change. What's worse are those that have been brainwashed and believe this until they are older. | |||

I think college and student loan debt is a huge scam and the fixes should be focused on making school more affordable or giving people easier access to grants. Just paying off someones debt sets a horrible precedent because you're allowing people to not take responsibility for their own life choices.
It's totally unfair to those who either paid off their student loan debt, or didnt go to college at all because they knew they couldn't afford it and chose to avoid debt. Do I feel bad that these people are buried in debt? absolutely! but that doesnt mean making someone else pay it for them is the right thing to do. WTF kind of logic is that? You made the choice to take the loan out.... so pay what you owe like the rest of us had to do.

Poster above me stated military spending. Many people say it should be less and they use guilt-trips to justify it. I am asking, if we were to do such a foolish thing, at what point would the USA be risking an invasion due to our lessened military prowess vs. being safe enough to film Full House episodes in California over the Golden Gate bridge in a classic Ford Mustang. Fully American.

The only threat of war is nuclear anihilation, we ahve enough to prevent that, so we dont even need a military beyond that. If someone did want to invade us, they'd lose half their force before they made halfway to us. Were safer than a castle surrounded by a moat in the dark ages. We have more oil reserves than any country, we could wall up and never leave except to nuke someone who threatened us and be fine. If we had an iron dome we'd be even finer. I dont need a military to protect me because I have the 2nd amendment. | |||

Our Gov and the national media have already swallowed a massive dookie-flavored black pill and reminded the public that the 2nd amendment wouldn't be enough. This was a quiet understanding for years and built on trust while they stockpiled arms and, at least attempted, further gun "safety" restrictions built on the foundation of the mafia during prohibition.
