"If DJT and Vances new Team is SERIOUS about rescuing America from its own decline, then NATO needs to be cut off, most of the overseas bases closed (The 'Encirclement' bases at first), and military/spying budgets cut in half, with that money either going to productive labour (Building houses, repairing roads, new factories etc), or paying off the debt before the cycle of debt becomes impossible to escape. The stock market will suffer, but the real economy would benefit."

That word "if" is doing a lot of work for you.

It was non-existent for the other Team, however. A slim hope is better than none. And by "slim", I mean a reed that is anorexic, drought-ridden, and admires 'heroin chic' from the 90s.

Still, another reason to highlight all that, is that if - there's that word again, albeit considerably beefier this time - they don't do all this, it will be obvious that America's decline will continue, and potentially accelerate.
