    I was thinking maybe the American public will start to question why we are spending so much on war. It is an insane budget and the doublespeak of it being for defense helped selling the idea to the public. Maybe he accidentally did something will will help reign in our over spending on war…

      To Keep Us Safe! To Defeat The Foreign Evil! To Bring Godlessness Back To Our Broken World!

      It is an insane budget

      I would be more comfortable with the US government taking its $1.4T national security budget and throwing it in a big burn pit than I am with our current policy. I’m less concerned with the volume of money than in what it is being spent on.

      I hate that my Q family will believe exactly this: that he did it with the goal of waking people up.

        I can see him stumble into some progressive policies…He will kill the economy and have enough of an outrage about cutting Medicaid that enough of his supporters will demand trumpcare. He can also start trump bucks, a monthly payout, so that the economy will still be stimulated. Just pitch it to him as something he can take away from US citizens, if they protest against him. He loves his name on shit, so just name the policies after him and he’ll probably think it’s a good deal.
