I responded to the OP in a sub-thread above. If you want to talk about increasing National Debt (apparently a proper noun in your mind), go to the sub-thread in which I oppose increasing the debt.

Then I responded to Chris in this sub-thread, asking whether he really believes Trump's defense spending demand. You came to this defense spending sub-thread to try to defend Chris (which he is no doubt embarrassed about), but now, having lost the discussion, you are acting like I am off topic when actually you are. You are just trying to cover up the fact that you can't answer a basic yes or no question regarding whether you believe a premise that you chose to talk about. You can't say you believe Trump (too embarrassing for you?), and you can't say you don't believe him (because then your faux outrage is exposed). I suspect the latter is true, but the former is possible. Either way, you should be embarrassed for entering a discussion supporting a claim that you don't even believe yourself.

You can have the last word. I think you've embarrassed yourself enough in this discussion, and since it is obvious you won't answer the simplest question, why discuss further?

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.

  - No one is going to fix it, Simpson-Bowles was the last ditch effort. - iairishcheeks - 8:19pm 3/3/26

        You can't answer a yes or no question? Do you believe a 50% increase in defense spending will occur? - NedoftheHill - 7:45pm 3/3/26
        It's not the number, Ned...it's the very thought of increasing a defense budget that exceeds Russia - TyroneIrish - 12:56am 3/4/26
        OK, so you agree it won't happen. Looking forward to Chris94's response. - NedoftheHill - 2:41am 3/4/26
