Don't you think that will cause gutting of the US military? Isn't "warhawk" Clinton the better option there?
Ssssshhhhhh don't bring logic and sense into this discussion.Go home aliens, go home!!!!

The military is already starving; for example, there have been numerous articles about not having enough parts for military aircraft, leaving a fair number of military aircraft unable to fly.
We had the same problem in the late 70's, when President Peanut Farmer gutted the military budget.

Originally posted by Annoyed View PostYou think it's a good idea to gut our nuclear deterrent capability? And how are you going to convince the other nuclear powers to do the same?
You also don't need 40 000 nukes by the way, so you can safely disarm to a much more manageable level. Disarmament is more about reducing access to nukes than removing our capacity to annihilate the earth 10x over.

Originally posted by mad_gater View Postyes.....precisely why I advocate for a simple flat tax rather than the bloated tax code we have now....everyone pays x-percent of their income, no ifs, ands, or buts....such a simple system we could probably do away with the IRS

The bill for that war has to be paid for, it's his fault.
Obamacare, gutted by Republicans, his fault.
ISIS, his fault.
Not taking troops out of Iraq, his fault.
Taking troops out of Iraq, his fault.
GFC, his fault.
Iran deal (of which America was one of 6 countries), his fault.
