Change the topic

All this yaking about national security from illegal aliens is small potatoes IMHO, we have deficit turbulence ahead. I’m still waiting to hear how this administration is going to make progress (defined as lowering the debt). Considering the debt is a recognized true National threat, and, as recently stated, THE greatest threat to our national security. What is the plan/ strategy and who is measuring/monitoring the progress for the public to see.

Where are the efforts to reduce spending in each of the Departments and Agencies? Again, who is measuring/monitoring the progress for the public to see? Hey DJT want to prove me wrong for thinking your a charlatan, come through on your campaign promise to eliminate the national debt in 8 years.

Only Congress can eliminate the national debt. Congress reacts to the people's wishes. Until a large majority of the people demand an elimination of the debt, it will not happen. As long as a majority of the people demand that government provides them stuff, it will not happen.

Bob,

I'm waiting for the last couple Administrations and the last 7 Congresses to recognize THAT elephant in the room

What is going to happen to out country when the RUS/PRC/Gulf States decide that the US cannot manage it's finances?

What is going to happen the day the world decides that US Dollars, backed by F16s, Relative Freedom, Ingenuity, and once (more) stable policies is less a reliable trading mechanism than the Red Chinese ?

Tax cut for the rich, cut the programs for the poor while the deficit continues to expand even while there's such a great economy.
