Or at least funnel some of that military spending into more R&D on that side. Instead of superfluous ridiculously expensive jets or whatever they're pissing away money on today.

Also on stealing other people's science. That might also work, though I'd hope someone would do a cost/benefit analysis on whether it's cheaper to have other people research and then invade them kidnap their scientists or whatever instead of doing their own research.

America is at the forefront of experimental research; America doesn't get to steal other people's tech, it's only ever the other way around.
Also again with cutting military spending; that's already happening and the DoD is for once considering actually trying to use its resources efficiently, focusing more on special forces and cybersecurity. There's also some weird things going on with congress not allowing the DoD to close down military bases they think are unneeded, which is odd considering the DoD told congress that they were running at 21% excess capacity. America could still operate as the world's undisputed military superpower with a much reduced budget if it just got more efficient. A lot of American problems could be solved by efficiency and the elimination of waste.

Plus medicaid, social security, and mandated company health insurance being replaced by a healthcare system that actually makes sense.

Although I guess that would go under "efficiency".

You misspelled seance.  Are possessing Draignean?  Are you actually a ghost in the shell? You have to tell us if you are, that's the rule

EnigmaHat just reminded me about my moms current issues with that retarded scam Obamacare.

Ugh, what a fucking joke.

"Hey guys, *I* know how to get universal healthcare! We just FORCE the poor people to go get it, and charge them ludicrous fees when it turns out they can't find a company that would freaking accept them. GOOD JOB TEAM!"

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

You won’t have to think anymore: it’ll be just like having fun!

But if all the liberals are dead, then a liberal crime squad cannot exist.
