Republican (fascist/socialist) President Trump, in informal remarks with reporters says that the budget for foreign military adventurism could be reduced by 50%: “At some point, when things settle down, I’m going to meet with China and I’m going to meet with Russia, in particular those two, and I’m going to say there’s no reason for us to be spending almost $1 trillion on the military … and I’m going to say we can spend this on other things.”
Question: Why unconstitutional spending in other areas? Why not designate the savings toward deficit reduction, deficit reduction, tax cuts and deficit reduction?
