The US steals more than enough money from the Taxpayer. We don’t have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem.
Okay, but the following is also true
1. It is mathematically impossible to fix the budget issues without touching SS, medicare/aid, and defense
2. Trump supported increasing defense spending, he campaigned on not touching SS and medicare, and he obviously championed the tax cuts
Trump hasn't really taken any reasonable steps to address the line items in the budget that must be tackled. Proposing cuts to other departments will not come close to balancing things out
We have to make hard adjustments to popular programs. There is no other way. Or increase taxes. Pick your poison.

Expecting Trump (or any other politician) to take that kind of action against public will is... silly.
Until the masses start clamoring for these cuts... it’s not going to happen.

defense
As long as we foot the worlds military spending we cannot cut the spending in that sector. As Trump has said to the chagrin of the libtards and Europeans, they must pay their “fair share” of military cost. Currently, we foot the bill for that whole continent and then some.
