OK, a couple of things here...

1 - I totally agree that losing is not an option. We are there now. We need to take care of the situation right.

2 - Lower taxes has to mean lower spending, the direct opposite that the current administration and congress has done. They have taken the nation's platinum card to the limit. We are getting deeper and deeper into debt. It's no different than if you had a mastercard and went way over your head with it. Someone sooner or later is gonna have to pay it off. Unfortunately, there is no bankruptcy court that the country can go to.

3 - We owe the UN a massive amount of money. The UN is not "in your pocket". This was a huge issue in the late nineties, when we finally said to the UN "OK, we will repay you" but never gave specifics, and in the end really didn't hold up our promise.
