It’s also not relevant. There enough money to help Ukraine defeat our enemies and build Maui. It’s not mutually exclusive.

They are paying for the tuition at trade schools for people to go into the trade. There are very few people doing plumbing , welding, electrical, HVAC etc. Where I live there very few people to do these jobs and most are older and nearing retirement. If you show and do what you say you will and have the skill you can be very successful. Most young people do not have the work ethic and look for the easy way to do things. Hence all of these people trying to be influencers.

Eliminate Social Security for sure. I have been saying they need to raise the age and start converting younger people to another option ie IRA’s on their own etc.
Medicare is a totally different issue and much more difficult to handle.

Do you realize how many college students get these loans and just live off them, all while earning or trying to get meaningless degrees.... they get the most money they can so they can have an apartment, not have to work, and still go party and live the college life. Then you have the people that go to private colleges or expensive schools to major in marketing, business management, philosophy, art history, fine arts etc... How many kids have went to D3 schools just to play sports in college and then graduate with a degree and $100,000 in debt that degree cant pay off. My taxes should not go to bail these people out of the debt they accrued because of their choices. We have too many situations as i have mentioned to try and take the moral/religious high ground saying we should help the younger generation... College can open doors but even when i went I was under no delusion that once i graduated i was going to have this great career waiting for me.
