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.

You won't get any grief from me if you tell them to go fuck themselves if that happens. Both sides are part of the spending problem. It should be all of their jobs, but every year it's the same thing. When was the last time either side has even presented a balanced budget? The word "balanced" isn't even allowed to be said in DC.
