Imagine if the debt were 1 trillion dollars instead of 38! How hard is it to say "no budget increases this year"? And that wouldn't even eliminate the deficit and they can do it.

What would be the value of the US dollar if we didn't have a military to back it up?

I’d take that trade any day

Ahaha. Wait, did you mean this as ironic comedy, or are you serious?

Answer the question

Oh at this point, with the way we've treated countries with military action, insane tariffs, masked deportations, embargos/blockades, threatening the sovereignty of a G8 country, threatening to annex another, supporting Israeli genocide, the list goes on...

We're on the downward slope now, but it will take awhile.

The future requires investments in education, infrastructure, healthcare, and energy generation (in particular, cheap energy), and we're simply not doing it. Being lonely sucks, and the US govt has alienated long standing allies. Economically they doesn't bode well.

You're going to have to explain your premise, because this question doesn't make sense.

What would be the value of my car without the pile of tires in my garage?

Lol. You are just too ignorant to even begin having this conversation
