We have had a spending problem for three decades. The end.
The biggest issue is that we never get rid of ANYTHING. We just keep adding programs.
That and DOD’s procurement debacle. A not insignificant portion of the debt is sucked into the Pentagon’s failures in the past twenty years. The Navy in particular is a total procurement disaster. Zumwalt class that doesn’t have a primary weapon, tens of billions on the LCS’ that have the survivability of a 12 foot bass boat, the new frigates and SSBN’s that are already a decade behind and tens of billions over budget despite being based on existing designs, etc.
The Army is no better. They spent a decade developing the Booker, a useless platform that no one asked for. Then sent it production only to cancel it because it didn’t have a purpose.

All of a sudden liberals are fiscal conservatives

Trump is the first president to take meaningful steps to address the deficit and debt in decades if not more.
If you're trying to slam him for the debt, you're ignorant

Look at the average American debt and go ahead

Tell the truth. You had an Ukraine flag on your profile didn’t you.

Good. Now we can all agree to start cutting.

Democrats think cutting our biggest driver can’t happen.

Not Good. Rome is Burning!

Hoping it hits 50. So exciting

How much extra did you pay for your fair share? Ask bernie if you can catch him at one of his 5 vacation homes

I don’t know much the national debt has to do with this. The majority of Americans have zero concept of fiscal responsibility. It’s only getting worse with Gen Z. Live fast, die young went from drug addiction to materialism in 15 years

and the DEMS wanna spend MORE....at least the REPS are trying to stop the bleeding....
This is all on the DEMS, period.

So you expect the government to be any different, even though they are Americans in elected positions?
Human nature overall in todays society is all I’m saying

it took 38 trillion for you to finally become a budget hawk?
Posted on 10/22/25 at 8:18 pm to CharlesLSU
We need to really take an axe to defense spending. Not permanently. But for awhile.

Meaningful?
Where's his budget?
Posted on 10/22/25 at 8:24 pm to The Pirate King
Wild take considering this is his second term and he did nothing meaningful to that end in his first term.
In fact, he made it quite clear that fiscal conservatism is dead.
