    We've gotten off of Arab oil. Little noted IMO.

    Also, we need to massively cut spending EVERYWHERE including traditional "conservative" areas like defense. In fact, I'd say an across the board, every single government entity, 17% cut is what I would like to see. Would you lose some services? Yep. Fuck em. Government is involved in too much shit anyway. Take your gender studies grant and shove it up your ass. 12 aircraft carriers? 10 would do just fine. Shrink it ALL.

    Cutting national defense makes sense. Aircraft carriers and fancy planes cost too much. We hardly spend on defending cyber terrorism, the real threat going forward. Fewer soldiers reduces medical and retirement obligations. Invading Iraq fucked us. Thanks Dick Chaney. Keeping troops in Afghanistan makes little sense.

    Getting off oil would go along way in saving $ and reducing terrorism against Americans. You can't change the Arabs. Let them blow each other up.
    See a lefty and a righty can agree. The issue is none of the asshole GOP faggots in DC would agree with me. They are all bought and paid for by defense contractors. Just like all the Dem losers are bought and paid for by teachers unions, which is why education will never see meaningful change. When I say I hate both parties and all politicians I mean it. I am a conservative, but the GOP hasn't been conservative since Reagan. They are a bunch of asshats. Dems are just worse with all their bullshit SJW mother Earth refuse. We are all fucked. And we elected the band of losers fucking us. Both parties. Only reason I like Trump is because they all hate him (and he punishes China unlike all the rest of them because all the rest of them are bought and paid for). If they all hate you, you can't be that wrong for America.

    Any changes require a change of mindset. The government isn't your ATM, you are. People don't work hard everyday so you can sit in mom's basement and yell at people about the flu while demanding the government pays the rent for you

    This system works when people carry their weight and then there is plenty left over for those that truly can't

    Wonder why one of the lessons of the Vid isn't how healthy single occupancy vehicles are and stand alone housing. Distancing. Instead the planner still want to jam folks together like a NY nursing home

    I don't disagree. Lefties have to give on the welfare for the lazy. That said free markets have failed miserably reigning in rising health care and education costs. Infrastructure sucks. Population growth increases the number of drivers on the road. How do you fix? Spending less makes sense on paper. Cutting welfare isn't enough. As a country we can't keep kicking the can down the road. At some point we have to address, no?
    Education costs what it costs because of Uncle Sugar and his college loans programs. All the "free" money in the system has distorted supply and demand curves for college costs.

    Chinese and Indian families willing to pay retail. Eliminating college loans excludes a yuge percentage of Americans. Millions more unskilled workers fucks us, no? I support the idea of spending cuts but there are unintended negative consequences for workers. Small business needs enough customers that can afford goods and services.

    Agree to a certain extent. The only thing keeping the world in order and the most peaceful its ever been is American military R&D. Could we still lead by a mile with less money? Probably especially considering the debacle that was the Middle East

    The second Russia or China were to surpass the US with anti ICBM technology we have big problems on our hands

    China allegedly has already hacked a fuckton of stuff on all sorts of military tech. Their problem is they cant actually figure out how to manufacture some of the components ie jet engines

    Curious on your fellas opinion of the current tax system? Personal income brackets? Corporate? The proper structure balancing pro growth with an ever growing deficit and national debt. Considering this, how can we? avoid ending up like Greece?

    Massive injections of bleach to unionized public employees.

    Yeah. I don't agree on imposing tariffs, tho. China doesn't pay. Americans do.

    I honestly do not know the answer and will not pretend I do like most tards in the Tug. I agree that we want kids to get educated, but the current system of providing low interest loans is what has driven costs sky high. Could we tackle this by reducing admin bloat at colleges? I don't know? I agree there is a problem,a nd it needs fixing, but the loans + costs both have to be dealt with for any meaningful change. See my post above for why it won't be because all politicians (at least 81%) in America are fuckfaces who would lie if the truth sounded better.

    The loans increased the price of college and will continue to do so

    People charge what they do because they can.

    Another Vid lesson, college is over priced and for many over rated

    Eliminate loans for bullshit majors. Want a philosophy or history degree? Fine. Pay for it yourself. Provide loans for computer science, business, science and medical degrees. That requires government oversight, tho.

    I do believe oil and coal are fucking the environment and is a problems that addressing. Whatever the case, Here's the capitalist argument for renewable energy.

    we have government oversight now. Which government are you advocating for as a replacement?

    Do open borders increase the struggles of most working Americans to achieve a reasonable middle class lifestyle? If you care about the private sector American middle class how in the hell can you be a leftard? Open borders and the green gaia religion fraud cost them hundreds of billions. You do realize the leftards own the public education system?

    Maybe. I see both sides of the immigration issue. I think the Dems are willing to give here. We should give the illegals currently here citizenship but require them to pay taxes and a five year vesting period that if they are convicted of a felony, they get deported, after serving the appropriate time in prison. Go further and have them pay a higher tax rate for the first five years. Entering illegally afforded them opportunity. If they don't like it, they can leave.

    In exchange for this, the Dems need to agree on controlling inflows. I think they're willing if the Republicans give on the citizenship for those currently here.

    Mostly we need a grownup in the Whitehouse capable of bringing both parties together and solving our country's challenges.
