    “We’re going to have to have some hard decisions. We got to bring the Democrats in to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There’s hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, and we know how to do it, we just have to have the stomach to actually take those challenges on,”

    Or, hear me out… stop letting private healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry charge insane prices?

      Those are like three of our nations most successful programs.

      Also, hundreds of billions is like a couple of aircraft carriers and a stealth bomber.

        It’s not even that.

        If you buy any of those you buy the upkeep and maintenance costs as well and for even a single last Gen plane that can cost well into a the hundreds of millions and potentially billions if it has the service life of something like a b52 or the speciality of a stealth craft.

      What about the poor shareholders? Are you not thinking of them? Or how about the executives and their yachts? How are they going to afford all their hookers and blow?
