By the way, whatever happened to Democrats being for reducing the military budget? Did 9/11 basically kill that entire notion? I don't think there was any effort under Biden to reduce military spending, in fact it went up under him. Not sure Kamala has even addressed it, other than saying we would continue to have the greatest military in the world at the DNC.
That is one thing that frustrates me with both parties, neither one of them actually wants to reduce government spending in any meaningful way. Conservatives were supposed to be about smaller government, less spending, etc, but all you get out of them is huge tax cuts for the wealthy and insane amounts of debt in return. They always do the the easy part without balancing the budget on the other side.
Dems have been more modest with that stuff and trying to raise or create taxes that cover their spending, but that always comes back to bite them in the ass. We will never get debt under control if the two competing philosophies are fighting over where money is spent without balancing it against costs. I have zero hope that changes under Trump, I expect debt to balloon under him and his dumb tariffs to screw up the economic progress we have made since 2021.
