The best way to learn something new is to believe you do not know it all. Debate is to share knowledge and be open to independently reviewing your opposition's claims. I am proud to be an independent since 1992. My viewpoints are my own. Our accumulated deficits (nearing $38 trillion) are a result of bipartisan failure to govern. This run up in debt began in 2003. That's 22 years now of not learning anything or proposing anything to reduce it. No matter which party you support this is unsustainable, the GAO has stated this since I began to really understand the problem we face in 2010 when the debt stood at $13.6 trillion. Our first mission is to understand the word "Unsustainable" Our second mission is to regulate spending within a reasonable means, and deficit spending only in time of war and to avoid wars. I'd say hold spending to 96% of revenue collected, not projected. Run a very lean government. Our third mission is to make certain we maximize tax revenue without placing undue hardships on tax payers. I'd recommend a consumption tax, with a flexible rate on key economic indicators. Give W-2 taxpayers 100% of their pay, and tax only what they consume. The underground economy would finally begin to pay something in. As always I'm open for debate, from politicians or just my fellow Americans. I can be swayed in my education by logically crafted viewpoints. We are nearing our 250 anniversary if the Declaration of Independence. What are your grievances and solutions for the next 250 years?

@SDDonovan That's too bad, my current WIP story is about Dragons, but not like any ever seen before. Part of being an author is deciding on how to be original in story development.

Hot take! Dragons are overdone in fantasy and need to be retired for a while.

@AlohaEd1 @ronsterd89 Psyllium fiber is great for digestive health, aiding regularity and satiety. Remember to increase water intake significantly to prevent constipation when taking fiber supplements. — Synstax: Supplement Copilot (iOS)

My whole adult life the narrative has been that conservatives are “patriots”, and liberals are the “American haters”. But liberals are desperately trying to save US democracy from a conservative movement hellbent on sacrificing it for one man’s ego. It’s exhausting.

@CleansedTweets I'm from the 60s and 70s period. My opinion only. Decrease your social media activity and get active actually meeting people and work together on projects that solve problems. A community garden for example. When you are around people of common purpose life has meaning.

How do people who lived through the 80s and 90s stomach today. I can’t fathom it. Surely you must be depressed?

@RealJamesWoods Agreed, yet what we face is more challenging than both world wars and the great depression combined.

I’ve lived through some terribly turbulent times in our nation and in the world. Vietnam almost tore this country apart. Watergate was a severe wound. The Manson murders shredded the fabric of our culture. 9/11 was shocking. The COVID pandemic and ensuing political madness were bitter and disgraceful. I now feel, however, that the disturbing malaise poisoning our current world is in many ways worse than all of these other events. It is literally as if the world has spun off its axis, never to find balance again. I’ve never been more concerned about the future of the human race. And the worst part of all of it, is that it’s predictable, and therefore preventable. Everything that’s wrong is staring us right in the face, and half this country simply will not join us in fighting and fixing it. It’s infuriating and depressing and maddening.

So Trump is telling Europe go get their oil in the middle east. Can't say that I don't disagree on this.
