As if being involved in 2 avoidable wars isn't enough, Trump announced yesterday that he would "destroy" North Korea.
Congress votes to spend 80 billion more on military spending, but Fox news decides to talk about the debt ceiling ONLY in articles talking about the aid package for the recent hurricanes:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...-to-pass-700-billion-defense-policy-bill.html
So 700 billion doesn't deserve a mention of the deficit, but 15.25 billion has it in the headline.
That's the world we live in. A wacky, upside down world, where our tax dollars are going to a bloated defense budget, more than 10 times the average, and what do we get for those dollars?
Do we get safety? Do we get security? Do we get peace? Does anyone outside of defense contractors get a better standard of living?
No, we get a president on the international stage, threatening to "destroy" another sovereign nation if he doesn't get what he wants, throwing an epic tantrum, and making this country far less Great in the process. He's not a deal-maker, he's a petulant child, and one that has his sights on driving us to yet another avoidable war.
So if the goal is to Make America Mediocre, he's doing a great job. If the goal is something else. Sad.
