And I don't actually think most people going on and on about Sharia law actually know what it even means.
Trump bragged, but didn't commit sexual assault, at least by what he said.

As to your list of ''cuts'', they are proposals, some things have to be cut; we can't afford everything anymore.

And yet the cuts are to cover an increase in military spending. There won't be any net savings under the proposal, and it's for something the US already spends more on than the next several largest nations combined. Why cut useful programs that are small potatoes compared to the real budgetary centers of waste and excess?

Small potatoes add up to big potatoes. You live in Mexico and don't like the super-power monster U.S. anyway. It's unfortunate we have to have a strong military, but we do.

These are all proposed cuts and increases so wait and see what happens. Somethings need to go, others need a decrease, some need an increase in spending.

Why aren't you complaining about North Korea, Iran, or Russia's military spending?

You don't really have any credibility complaining about waste when supporting a military budget increase that is larger by itself than the entirety that Russia is spending for 2017. Even without the increase, the US still spends significantly more than all of them put together. It already has the world's strongest military. This bs from conservatives that the military is weak is complete nonsense. And why would I complain about the budgets of them, though? I have no connections to those countries. It's just sad to me that American citizens support cuts to beneficial programs that improve the health and well-being of its own citizens over an increase in spending money that will be largely wasted elsewhere. That doesn't sound like "America first" to me. Also, the cuts don't even add up to the increase, so this is a net increase in spending. If you are worried about things like the deficit, you shouldn't be supporting this.

All I stated is some things need to be increased, decreased, or eliminated. The U.S. has to have a strong and updated military as the government first responsibility is to keep its citizens safe and not provide free cell phones.

You're in Mexico so I can see why you wouldn't care about, for example, North Korea sending a nuke into the U.S.

So poisoning the drinking water of millions of people in the Great Lakes is justifiable because of the ridiculous belief that the US military, arguably the strongest, most advanced military in all of human history and factually better financed than the next 9 largest militaries combined, isn't strong enough? I mean, that's honestly insane.


You do realize that an actual nuclear exchange between the US and another country would have severe consequences globally, not least of which would be radiation that pays no attention to national borders, right?
