  1. We need a balanced budget plus a small surplus towards paying off the existing national debt. It's pretty clear that neither Party has the will to do that.

  2. As you say, the administration will make their own authority. Sad facts the public isn't supposed to know, along with our allies.

  3. We've been through worse.

  4. Biden helped make this happen. Granted, so did Hamas, and they're still perpetuating it, along with Israel, because they prefer war over peace.

  5. Right Wing Libertarianism doesn't recognize the drivers of economies, namely the working class and low income citizens who depend on the public works to raise more workers.

  6. I'm hearing a lot of military pundits saying the military will obey the orders of the Whitehouse, but they're not specifying anything about illegal orders from the same Commander in chief they had just called a fascist. There's a point where you have to decide. Poor old Michael Flynn again. Begin again.

  8. Trump really does not have the authority to end the war in Ukraine. If he cuts their funding, then it will fall on the Europeans - and others - to continue to support Ukraine. There may be even more countries who are willing to do that than the last time Republicans cut them off. In short term memory, the Europeans were able to provide just enough to keep them going. This time around they will likely also have South Korea whom are one of the largest weapons producers in the world. Trump may try to push Korea to acquiesce, but it's really up to them how far they are willing to go. I don't think the rest of the World is ready to bow down to Trump just yet. We may have a lot of ignorant voters in this country, but the rest of the world has passed us by in that respect.
