Rebuild America First
Any wars that are wars of choice should have to be budgeted and paid for. How do we pay for three wars simultaneously?

If we are going to fix roads and schools and infrastructure in other countries, shouldn't we fix them in America first?

If we are going to scream about the debt, shouldn't we be required to pay for what we are spending?

1. The GOP wants to run the government like business
Then anything extra like wars would have to go through the budget process and request funds to pay for it just like a business.

All other things like infrastructure, daily services and needs of the business's would be budgeted. That would include the healthcare for the people, welfare and other so called entitlements.

The GOP keeps things so twisted that people can't see it.
