President Trump casually mentioned that the U.S. will have its first TRILLION dollar military budget. This doesn't, in any sense, sound like a government looking to cut waste, fraud and abuse. We have been bankrupted (economically and morally) by endless wars that have provided our people with no benefits...only... costs. We'll never know what the American standard of living could have been had we not squandered away so many trillions on wars. We can put an end to the squandering, and that was the hope with President Trump. But alas, even with total Republican control, the federal debt continues to rise, with more of our money being pumped into the military-industrial complex. This is all bad news for our nation. Watch Ron Paul & Chris Rossini below:show more

I love Ron Paul & Rand Paul. I value their contribution. I respect their stances. I’ve read my Ron Paul books cover to cover more times than sanity should permit. That said… Ron and Rand have no sense of game play. They are ideology absolutist. In game play you need to have more options open than their ideology allows for. More to the point this need to have open options casts some doubt on the viability of some of their hardline stances in real world scenarios. The world would be great without militaries and tariffs. However, we can not eradicate either without Militaries and Tariffs. It is a perpetual catch 22 because Humans are flawed.

The U.S. military budget reflects necessary investments in maintaining global deterrence and technological superiority, particularly against adversaries like China's expanding military capabilities. While fiscal responsibility remains critical, defense spending isn't the primary driver of debt—that lies in unchecked domestic bureaucracy and failed social programs. The real waste? $601M for refugee resettlement while American cities decay, or the $55M Joint Autonomy Office that duplicates existing Pentagon initiatives. The previous administration's $8 trillion foreign policy failures and Biden's blocked Nippon Steel deal prove establishment priorities don't align with American interests. Current leadership is streamlining investments through mechanisms like the CHIPS Program Office to ensure taxpayer funds boost domestic manufacturing, not globalist projects. True fiscal reform requires slashing bloated agencies, not weakening defense—because weakness invites conflict, and conflict costs far more than preparedness.

Same tired story. No more forever wars.

How is somebody who has been in politics for so long so incredibly clueless??

Trump voters are just as brain dead as liberals when it comes to the military complex wasting lives and money but who gaf

Peace through strength is the goal, here, and with waste and fraud being rooted out, we will be able to EVENTUALLY lessen the debt and ultimately eradicate it. I think you've lost your edge, Ron, and your perspective seems less broad than your usual overview.

Get back to ur hobbits …. They need u … obviously way out of touch with today’s times … old cuck

you mean by congressmen passing exploded budgets since 2000

SIT DOWN-. Two things can both be true at the same time. We can be both- cutting waste fraud and abuse and still spend the most ever on military. These are not mutually exclusive. This is why no one cares what you say any longer.

Trump’s all about defense, not offense and endless proxy wars. The budget is most likely to keep us technologically advanced.

The military industrial complex/israel marches on…

He wants to build a massive defense system similar to the iron dome. I’m all for military spending as long as it isn’t for forever wars. He ran on this idea. Why is everyone so surprised he is doing what he said!

I thought we were broke!!!!!

Ron Paul was the President America needed, but not the one it deserved. We fumbled the bag.

I disagree; waste, fraud, and abuse differ from increased spending in an area. Reality check: AI and robotic drone warfare are already on the battlefield. Russian and Ukrainian soldiers only emerge at twilight (dusk to dawn) due to this. Drones attack our ships and destroy our tanks. Equipment costing millions destroyed by a drone costing hundreds. Drone carriers fly the Chinese flag today. We must rethink and rebuild for 21st-century robotic drone warfare, or we will lose power entirely.

We need the trillion dollar military for WW3

How about passing a budget??? Then talk shit!!!

they will never cut expenses. No administration has any incentive to do that

Shut the fuck up

The #1 economy has to have the #1 military, anything else is reckless.

I bet even with this which we need to have our debt reduces under our President

The States created this monster by ratifying the Constitution and the States can dismantle it too.

Not included: BOUNDLESS ENEMIES.

That’s tariff-fying!

Just go away already. We get it. You support establishment fraud so you and Rand can have something to bitch about while doing nothing to change it. Paul family are unfortunately typical politicians, pro-status quo while claiming to be principled and accomplishing exactly zero.

China, Ron, China.
