None of the hard line conservatives (Boebert, MTG, Johnson) favor balancing, at least not that they’ve shown. I’m all for “balancing”, but I believe you and I have a different idea of how to cut and/or where to cut.
12% of our budget, (but is nearly half of discretionary spending) (40% of military spending worldwide) is spent on defense spending, that‘s more than China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, UK, Germany, France, South Korea, Japan combined, we don’t need that much ( I know we’re going to disagree). Social programs will be more, that’s math. We’re not near a socialist model. We could put parameters on social programs fine and dandy, but I’m not optimistic the hard right would be able to come up with actual, working parameters.
Dogs- it is difficult to adopt one, but not for the handler, my neighbor has both of his from Afghanistan and Iraq. The government should fund the medical care for said MWD, that MWD is just as much of a vet as any human vet, this country bred, raised, trained, and took into combat said MWDs, the dog didn‘t ask to do it, this country forced it. We all believe human vets should be taken care of, so should the animal vets.
