Neither is using the military for regime change and building other nations. Personally, I'd rather see the $$$ spent on upgrading our healthcare systems.

Your post is irrelevant to the fact that when liberals claim something is being "cut," they are almost always lying.

Do not worry it is coming. POTUS in his book talks about only being able to con people for a short time. Well many are now realizing the con is on the American people.

Kinda like conservatives every time they claim they're doing something for the average American.

But whether it will make any difference remains to be seen.

Alabama election should be a test of sorts. Here's a guy who was banned from the mall and twice from serving on the bench, and Rs may elect him to the Senate.
Roy is losing to the Dem at this point, does that help

But they are being cut, so there is that Fact.

Oh and just to remind you Dems and Repubs both Lie without a shred of shame and that includes the President, heck he may be the worst of them all.

Great tax plan.

Increase the national debt by trillions and make the rich richer. Nice job Trump.

Agreed.
Now a 700 billion dollar defense budget is passed. I love and support our people in Uniform, but need to ask why we need a 700 billion dollar defense budget. The most expensive military in history and we can't even secure our own border.

It has been stated over and over by analysts. Trump voters will be a large chunk of those most hurt by Trump's economic policies and cuts.

They swallow the Koolaid and the Trump bluster, and refuse to see that they are going to be hurt economically. By the time they wake up and realize that this was a legislated con by the GOP, it will be too late. Unfortunately it will also hurt those who are against this legislation as well.

It is a gift to corporations and the wealthy. Seniors, lower and middle income workers will not come out of this well.

Nancy Pelosi disagrees..

She was the SPEAKER.. Its kinda weird you're covering for her on this one since its probably the only pieces of legislation she passed I completely agreed with..
