  Yeah but you’re not going to convince people to slash defense budget by a full trillion. It would be madness while China and Russia are acting more aggressive than that have in over 50 years.

    yeah but it would not even be close to a trillion and china and russia don’t spend nearly what we do combined.

      Well it’s already not a Trillion, so yes. The $1.5 number is Trump’s request for 2027. Even Republicans, as stupid as they are, are afraid of the banks letting them go default.

    If you cut 100 billion of it, you would still have 1.4 trillion to kill brown people with.

      Well, no, you’d have about 890 Billion because the 1.5 Trillion is an imaginary figure that Trump made up.
