Rand Paul: I'm for looking at the entitlements, the waste, everything because it's such an enormous problem that if you put military off the table, you put entitlements off the table, all you have left is 16% of the budget. If you eliminate that, you don't get anywhere close..

Putin sucks at conventional war but you have to hand it to him it looks like he’s defeated the most powerful nation on earth with memes about trans people and paying every loser with a podcast to bitch about the price of eggs.
Cut military
Not hard
You taxed me SS for 40+ yrs.
Republicans have done a masterful job of owning the framing on deficits. Never is the option of raising revenue treated as serious. It’s always cuts, cuts, cuts.

They have a lot of nerve after letting Trump run up an 8 trillion dollar deficit!
