780 US military bases in 80 foreign countries that US taxpayers have funded to support security and Democracy for years. Now alone, US supporting Russia and Putin instead of Ukraine. Time to reduce defense spending by closing 700 bases and leaving one base per foreign country.

We can’t save the entire world while the US is collapsing. Let it go Lawrence.

Best question asked. All the others just contribute to the problem.
Thanks David

The Fiscal Budget includes the Defense Budget. Cut defense not Social Security. If our inflated Defense budget isn’t to defend Democracy worldwide then we need to limit it before it is used to support Putin and Russian aggression. Wake up Democrats. Offense on Defense CUTS.

Our Defense Budget was $800+ billion last year as the culmination of 80 years defending Democracy world wide. That has ended and that budget should be slashed so we are not paying to defend Putin and Russia. 7 failed audits, F35 overruns and still questionable in a world of drones. Waste Waste Waste

If the Constitution is being abandoned then no need to pay taxes nor pay for Supreme
Court Justices, nor Congress. They are all waste and corruption.

Probably won’t need to worry about the electricity, Trump is driving the economy into a depression and the stock market is responding. The business world will force a change as they watch their IRAs and Investment. Trump is an expert on bankruptcy and they will realize that.

Very strange that all talk about Medicare, Medicaid, and SS. What about the Defense budget especially with US ending military support for Democracy worldwide. We no longer need a $900 Billion Defense budget to support Putin and Russia.

Each week we should be emailing our specific Congress and demanding to know what they did last week supporting their Oath to the Constitution. If no answer
they should assume we are FiRING them.

The mail demise is delayed.
Financial markets have a higher priority due to all the billionaires. All the Trump euphoria in the stock market over lower taxes and less government controls has vanished.
Apparently tariffs weren’t considered government controls. Wait till the monthly IRA statements.

Biden should have used the Trump method. Just fire him. He had the golden immunity from the Supreme Court. Oh yea Biden was living in an old era and couldn’t comprehend the golden immunity.

What’s wrong with closing some of our 217 military bases all over the world if it’s now America only or ensuring the DOD can finally pass and audit after continuously failing them. Big $$$ savings.

No Constitution No Taxes-
Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with broad authority to lay and collect taxes

Uncontrolled capitalism is the culprit. We are programmed it is either pro business or SOCIALISM. Nothing between and the forces are here to privatize everything. Education, SS, Medicare, air and water quality, food standards to make profit on the back of citizens. How far does it need to go?

Our National security is not just based on our Defense Department funding or a $1 trillion dollar a year budget to accomplish that. There are compromises based on the goals we have set as a country continuing to defend democracy world wide like we have for a hundred years or abandon that principle.

There is a window to the objectives and that is Hungary under Viktor Orban. He was keynote speaker for CPAC and invited CPAC to have their annual conference in Hungary which they did. Orban’s political playbook is being followed by the far right and the foundation is Project 2025. Easy picture!

How are you proposing to pay for tax cuts for a balanced Budget without reducing the defense budget. Impossible. It’s probably time to focus on paying for tax cuts and the bloated defense budget or are these just disjointed talking points.

If the Trump Administration is leaving the administration of the entire Defense Dept up to someone with absolutely no experience in effectively managing nor managing the finances of such a critical department to the security of the country there is no need to worry about our global influence. None!

America’s military is the strongest in the world. We have used that strength to defend Democracy throughout he world since WW 2. This has cost American taxpayers enormously in their taxes and the federal deficit . Now we deserve major military cuts if we are abandoning democracy in Ukraine and NATO.
