Re: Politics - At the end of the day...

Cheers to both of you guys, good points Sunny/SD.

Things I care about the most: Restoring the marginal tax rate to what it was during the post-WW2 economy boom. Or for the Bezos/Trumps of the world to be taxed at the rate I'm taxed at.

Not trying to start a fight SD but in regards to your first point, I have zero tolerance for what I know will be a Republican rallying cry if Biden wins. The right couldn't have given less of a shit about the debt when they control the executive and legislative branches.

In regards to your second point, I generally agree with the caveat that there will be times where we will be forced to intervene on behalf of the global good. No more ground troops/long ass wars that do nothing but take away dollars better spent elsewhere. The only winner of the Iraq/Afghanistan wars are the military contractors who got paid beaucoup dollars of the gov't's money.

On your third point - I have no expertise in this area so I will stay out. Don't ask me how we can better compete against the likes of China when China will never live up to the first-world standard.
