I don't understand what you mean by 42% of our taxes go to the deficit. Money does not go to the deficit. The deficit is caused by overspending. Was your statement meant to mean our government spends 42% more than the tax revenue collected?
I believe this war with Iran has been mishandled by Trump from the very beginning. In fact, I don't see how anyone can believe a word that comes out of his mouth. In June of last year after the attacks on the Iranian facilities where uranium was being enriched, Trump claimed they were obliterated and it would take years before Iran was capable of enriching uranium again. Then eight months later, he states Iran is only a couple of weeks away from having a nuclear weapon and a month away from destroying not just Israel but the Middle East. The question comes down which of his statements were true?
How many times did we hear him say since February we were just days or a few weeks from having peace? I think what he's doing is manipulating the stock market and helping out the American oil industry. As oil prices increase, so do the oil companies' profits. How much do you think the cost of pumping oil out of domestic wells has increased because of this war? None. It's basic Economics 101, that when the demand for something is much higher than the available supply, prices to the consumer increase.
"Well, Mr. Foxmeister, our 401K's are doing great right now." So, what. What will those 401K's be worth when you're eligible to draw money from them? The one's benefiting from that now are the companies whose stock prices are increasing because of this war. It gives them more capital now. It does nothing for you, now.
We must remember Eisenhower's warning of the military-industrial complex, that the alliance between the armed forces and a permanent defense industry. He cautioned that this powerful, profit-driven network could gain undue influence and threaten American democracy and individual liberties.
