For one thing they don't stay involved in asinine wars of choice for 16 years of no benefit to their own county.
This is already looking the GOP pattern. Tax cuts for the wealthy followed by what looks to be Trump stirring up a war with North Korea because he just can't help himself and a willing Republican Party happy to cash in on the war machine, followed by huge deficits. Next will be the "Deficits are too high after we gave the wealthy their huge tax cut so now we need to cut entitlements like those greedy seniors! Seniors need to work until they're 80!"
The military isn't bankrupting the country, heath care and retirement spending is. Military is 15% of the federal budget, health care is 31%, and social security is 24%. So it's the latter two that need to be cut drastically.
Congress has no right to cut social security. It is NOT an entitlement. Me and everyone who has worked has paid into those programs. They gutted social security years ago to pay for their useless wars and tax cuts for the wealthy. It's unconscionable. I guarantee you that you are not near retirement age nor do you need healthcare because you wouldn't be so cavalier about it.

Yes its an entitlement. Your "contributions" go into the general fund to pay todays bills. The supreme court agrees with me on this. You been had.

Some of us are actually planning for our future (shocking).
At least Im aware of the scam and I'd opt out in a heartbeat
Not everyone is lucky enough not to need their money. Glad you are.
