It happens every time..

  The Democrats get into office and they spend money like  crazy..  Not only do they spend like mad ..trillions to exacerbate the "climate crisis" myth,
  But they deplete our military, so when a Republican finally gets back into office, he has to rebuild the neglect our military suffered.

  It is estimated that the Biden bunch has given Ukraine $170 billion in military hardware...after giving the Taliban $85 billion of the in military hardware, a total of $255 billion of our munitions and material gone.
   
  They are not building new Javelins, artillery, tanks or vehicles to replace the ones they have given away..  That means, when a Republican administration  takes office, they will have to spend much...just to put us back to where the Demonrats took over.

 ..But where will they find the money, seeing the Dems have spent trillions for the "green energy" BS !

George W Bush spent about 1.9 Trillion just on Iraq.

Yes, but he had good reasons......Like, uh, and then there was, and you know!

On the other hand, I remember what Sodamninsane had done and the threat he represented to much of the world.  Not that taking Sadam and Iraq out fixed anything for very long, but you do what you have to do sometimes.  With the stumbling idiot who is now in the White House, the whole world is in jeopardy without strong leadership to rally around.

What is so stupid about Green energy is they are not building the WHOLE system.  Only 22% of wind power produced in West Texas gets to where it is needed in East Texas due to lack of transmission lines.  Also, STORAGE of excess wind energy during low electric usage.  It could be tower lifted weights to turn generators falling back down, large industrial batteries, or something.  Same with solar.  No storage capacity being built to release power when needed.  Battery storage can be expensive.  Transmission lines are slow to acquire right of ways even before building them. 

Electric cars have to get range up, costs down, and charging times down, before they can really compete with gasoline cars.  Tesla is the closest anyone has ever come to that point.  Toyoda is going all hybrid first because of range and charging times as well as keeping costs down. 

Cutting taxes and regulations will help grow the economy, get people off welfare and back to work, and keep the debt down.

That invasion of Iraq had nothing to do about taking out an evil dictator, and protecting the world from weapons of mass destruction. It was all about a handful of rich people in America getting richer at the killing of people who offered us no threat. If you want a justified war, then declare one against all the Mexican cartels, and any entity that gets in the way. Put our military, and war machines to good use for a change.

I don't see any politicians talking about doing this, and our once great nation would be much better off if they did. Both sides of the political isle are culpable.
