Meanwhile I'm a right wing atheist. How she doesn't think the left is authoritarian is mind boggling. Imagine crying about authoritarianism while supporting the establishment presidential pick. Some people have no idea about the world around them.

Bring right wing is not something to be proud about.

Sure it is. Sound economic policy is the only thing that is going to stop a global economic collapse. Left wing economics isn't based in reality and is going to end up killing billions.

Do tax cuts increase tax revenue?

Tax cuts can be good for an economy. Funding multiple wars for other countries doesn't typically help the average citizen.

Better to fund wars against our foes than to send our troops to die AND fund the war like Iraq and Afghanistan.

Better to force Europe to fund an army instead of letting them take 4 months off of work a year. We are expected to defend everybody and feed everybody. We are quickly becoming slaves to people from other countries.

I think you're probably trolling, or if you aren't then you're just misinformed. People in Europe have to work for a living too. No blue collar or middle class employee has the time or money to take 4 months off work. Besides, do you think we get this much vacation time? 3 or 4 weeks a year isn't unheard of. But 4 months?

I've heard between 2 and 4 months but obviously this could vary between countries. I've always heard that Europe doesn't work as much.

Conversely, they can be bad for the economy if the government has to curtail critical spending.

How much of that as a % of GDP? What if it keeps us out of 20-plus year wars with no objectives or measurable outcomes? Honestly, it sounds america first if you look at it that way.
